As a relative newcomer to Reepham, I’m sure most of you will have no idea who Tina Pashley is! But I hope to change that in my new role as Chair of the Trustees at the wonderful Bircham Centre, behind that green door!
For me, the Bircham Centre represents far more than an historic building with a beautiful garden in the Market Square; it’s the people I’ve met there and the sense of community they’ve created that have won my heart. Taking up the role of Chair is an honour and one I embrace with enthusiasm and a sense of deep responsibility.
My background in communications and research has taught me the importance of listening, collaboration, and creative thinking. I look forward to bringing that experience and energy to the next chapter in the Centre’s history, working closely with our amazing employees, volunteers and supporters.
As Chair, I’ll be dedicated to ensuring the Bircham Centre remains a vibrant, welcoming space for all. Whether you come to browse the charity and book shops, the library, the Country Market, enjoy tea and cake in the Warm Room, come to play Bridge, Board Games, or meditate, hire rooms or simply enjoy a quiet moment in the garden, I want you to feel welcome and at home.
So come and introduce yourself, share your ideas, and let’s shape the next chapter of the Bircham Centre together. That iconic green door – is open to all.
