THE board of St Leonard's Hospice in York has announced the appointment of three new trustees.

They are Bernadette Burbridge, a Radio York journalist and a member of the General Synod of the Church of England, Anne Ellison, who retired from Nestl Rowntree in 1989 as personnel manager and is secretary of the Friends of St Leonard's, and Francesca Horsfield, a magistrate in York and the chairman of the board of visitors at Wetherby Young Offenders Institute. Trevor Copley, chairman of the trustees, said: "The hospice is constantly changing to meet the needs of patients and the community.

"With the wide range of experience and expertise represented on the board of trustees we are confident we can face whatever developments are needed in the years ahead."
