Diane Cockayne, Wednesdayite DirectorDirectors
I have been a Wednesdayite Director for around 7 years - initially being co-opted, then elected to help with community projects. I resigned in 2008 when I moved away to Norfolk for a year to undertake a temporary work contract.

On my return to Sheffield I was asked if I would organise the distribution of SMILE tickets to young patients of the Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
