SAVS would like to say a massive thank you to our Chair of Trustees, Gaby Rydings as she steps down from her role. Joining us as a trustee in Nov 2015, and then proceeding to Chair in Nov 2021, Gaby has given SAVS 9 years of dedication and commitment.

As a qualified accountant with 28 years of experience at the National Audit, once an elected member of Thurrock council and unqualified social worker and proud family women, Gaby brought a wealth of associated skills to the role, including a strong belief and commitment to fairness and equality and a respect and understanding of the contribution the voluntary sector makes.

SAVS CEO, Anthony Quinn comments,

“Thank you on behalf of all the Trustees, staff and volunteers at SAVS and we wish you all the best for the future and your next phase of life.”
