“Taking the opportunity this year to move outside of politics and on to new ventures in the not-forprofit sector, I look back on the past 12 years with enormous respect for my colleagues from right across the political spectrum but most importantly the people we serve,” Ms Parker said.
“I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity and privilege to be part of the team at Delphis which is such a wonderful caring and supportive organisation.”
