Maureen O’Malley, Charity Manager, said “It has been a pleasure and honour to have led VASL for the last 12 years and also to have worked for VASL in various roles for nearly 30 years.

I am delighted that Julia Synnott has been appointed as VASL’s new Charity Manager and wish her every success in this new role. I am confident that VASL will continue to thrive.”

I, and the VASL Board, looking forward to working with her.”
