Our Team

Meet our team

Vicky

Alice's Mummy, Vicky, oversees the day-to-day running of the charity, with a particularly responsibility to our bereaved families. Having spent sixteen continuous years in hospital with one or the other of her girls’, and now as a bereaved mother, she is well placed to understand the pressures our families are under. 

Out of the office, Vicky spends as much time as possible in the mountains, accompanied by her faithful Labs - Mabel, Lottie and little Willow.

Cathy & Simon 

Overseeing the business side of the charity are Cathy and Simon, a wonderful couple who Alice adored. Cathy is responsible for organising any experiences you might benefit from during your stay. A qualified Vet nurse, Cathy enjoys showing her lovely Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

Cathy’s husband, Simon, is our Charity Treasurer. Simon is a qualified canine hydrotherapist and practices in his own treatment pool, along with running a boarding kennels and cattery. 

Milly Pyne B.E.M.

Having volunteered with us since the beginning, Alice's sister, Milly, now 23, is the latest to join our board of Trustees. Milly has raised over £100,000 for various charities. Graduating from Newcastle University with a Masters in PR & Media, Milly assists with fundraising events and helps raise the social profile of the charity. Milly lives and works in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a beautiful and friendly city in the north east of England.

Milly was awarded with a B.E.M. by HM Queen Elizabeth in 2012. The following year, she successfully summited the worlds tallest freestanding mountain, Kilimanjaro, scattering her sister’s ashes in the process and, just a year later, she completed the Inca Trail in Peru. 

Jayne & Elaine

Jayne and Elaine are our family liaison volunteers and, entirely coincidentally, they both live within a few miles of Chester. Friends with Vicky for over twenty years, they play a pivotal role in the charity.  

Once your application is received and approved, Jayne makes contact to arrange holidays. With the dates booked, Jayne then passes the family file over to Elaine, who organises requests such as transport; photographs; dietary requirements; etc.

Team Alice

It would be impossible to list all of the wonderful supporters we have but, regardless, they are so very appreciated. Whether it be power-washing the decks, helping clean the holiday caravans, tending to the flower pots, sending gifts for the families, volunteering at events or fundraising to help with our day-to-day running costs, these are these are the people who lift the load and allow us to concentrate on taking care of our families.
