It is with great sadness that we have to inform that our fellow member and past Chairman of the charity Simeos “Sim” Yiannikaris passed away earlier this week. Sim has been with the charity for over 30 years, as volunteer driver in 1994 then joining the committee the following year. During his time with us Sim has performed many roles including serving as Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Chairman, and he will be greatly missed by all those that knew him. Our condolences go out to Maria and the family at this very sad time.
