Thank You, Kevin & Hilary! 💙🧡
After many wonderful years of dedication to Abbeyfield East Devon, both Kevin and Hilary are stepping down and we couldn’t let this moment pass without saying a heartfelt thank you to them both.
Kevin, our Chairman, has steered the organisation with wisdom and care, always keeping our residents at heart. Hilary, a previous chair herself, has been a true pillar of strength and support throughout her many years on the Board, with both of them often walking or cycling in for a catch-up and bringing warmth with them every time. Thank you to Oliver for sharing Hilary with us, who has given so much, many stories, the vote of confidence and all the giggles along the way!
Together, they’ve been part of so many special moments with us, regular coffee morning attendees, garden parties, summer BBQs, quiz nights, bonfire nights and of course celebrating Abbeyfield turning 70! Their presence at these events, and their unwavering commitment behind the scenes, has meant more than words or pictures can really capture.
Outside of Abbeyfield, Kevin is a keen cyclist and skier, who treasures time with the ladies in his life: his wife Keren, whose unwavering support of both Kevin and Abbeyfield has been a constant and we thank her immensely for sharing him with our Abbeyfield family and giving her time and support too, and his wonderful daughters, who mean the world to him.
Kevin and Hilary, it has been a genuine pleasure to have you both as part of our Abbeyfield family. Thank you for everything you’ve given us over the years. We wish you both all the very best for the future 💙🧡
With heartfelt thanks and warmest wishes,
The Abbeyfield East Devon Team
ThankYou
