THAMES Hospice has announced the appointment of a new Chair of its Board of Trustees.
Katherine Horler OBE has been named as the successor to the role, which will be held by current chair Chris Aitken until the end of the year.
Mr Aitken will continue as Chair of Trustees until the charity’s Board meeting in December, ensuring a smooth handover with Katharine and bringing three years in the role to a close.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the leadership of this amazing organisation and a challenge that I’m looking forward to.”
Chris Aitken, Chair of Trustees, Thames Hospice, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Katharine as the new Chair of Trustees. Her personal connection to hospice care and her extensive leadership and governance experience make her an excellent fit for the role.
