Smoking Ban Warden Support Rota

Staffside Convenor and Unison branch secretary Chris Rickards has signed up for the rota, she explained why: “We are supporting the smoking ban as it will help people make healthier choices and improve wellbeing. The Trust has done a lot of work to assist people who want to give up smoking, and we hope that everyone supports this ban, and does their bit to show their support. Fresh air is wonderful to breathe in, and secondhand smoke is not, so we have to work together to make this important change across our Trust.”
