Gillian Donald
Gillian’s precious son Fin was supported by CHAS in the last few years of his life.
Gillian is convenor of the Corporate Governance and Risk Committee. She is an experienced employment lawyer, and a partner with Blackadders LLP, in their Aberdeen office.
Her precious son, Fin, had a very rare, degenerative, life shortening illness. As Fin’s care needs escalated, Gillian and her family received invaluable support from the Aberdeen CHAS team. It was thanks to this care that 11-year-old Fin was able to pass away peacefully at home in his own bed on 22 May 2020.
She is now delighted to support the charity as a trustee.
I know the immense heartache and significant challenges that families facing the death of their child go through. The wide-ranging support that CHAS can provide during this awful time really does make a huge difference. I am delighted to be able to a trustee of this charity and very committed to supporting CHAS in ensuring every child and family who needs their help can access it.
