On 20th March, Kate Silcock will retire after 19 years of committed and compassionate service as Centre Administrator for our Redhill Family Centre. Many of you – supporters, former staff, and trustees – will want to join in expressing our thanks for her exceptional contributions and unwavering loyalty to our work and mission.
Kate has been a cornerstone of Welcare in East Surrey, combining her administrative and financial expertise with a deep, visible passion for supporting children and families. It’s impossible to walk through the doors without being greeted by her warm smile! Kate’s commitment to the wellbeing of the families we serve has always been more than just a job – it’s been a vocation.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have had Kate as a colleague. Beneath her professional skills lies a strong personal faith and connection to the community, which has been evident in everything she does. And, as if that weren’t enough, Kate’s husband, Jo Silcock, has also generously volunteered with Welcare over many years, assisting with routine maintenance and even creating our first database to record the unique number of children and families we serve.
Kate’s presence will be sorely missed, but we all wish her a long, happy, and healthy retirement.
