**WRVS has appointed Verity Haines as its new Executive Director of Fundraising 
and Engagement. She joins the age positive charity from her post as National Arts
Director for Arts & Business. Previously she has worked for Save the Children, Oxfam,
the British Diabetic Association, University of Cambridge and the Royal Society 
of Arts (RSA).**

Haines has also served on the Executive of the Institute of Fundraising and co-founded

WRVS Chief Executive Lynne Berry said: “Our mission is to help older people get 
more out of life by providing practical services, powered by volunteers. We have
built on our unique history, repositioning WRVS to be positive about life and practical
about age, and the appointment of Verity will provide further strategic and operational
leadership during this exciting time for WRVS.”
