Citation for Kate Brian the I N UK and MTL Volunteer of the Year

I met Kate on my very first working day for Infertility Network UK when myself, Philipa Coughlan, Kate and her lovely daughter Flora all traveled up to Liverpool together for the launch of Infertility Network UK at the BFS Meeting. I was right in at the deep end, but in the friendly, welcoming company of Kate and my other companions, I felt totally at ease and remember thinking that if the rest of the team were as nice, I’d made the right choice in joining the charity!

Since that first day, my colleagues and I have worked with Kate on many occasions. She works tirelessly for the cause and in my experience never says “no” when asked yet again if she could undertake a project for I N UK. She’s always ready and willing to speak to the media, attend meetings, write articles for our publications and has yet to turn down the umpteenth request from me to do a book review which she always produces on time without any nagging from me!!

Kate is also an extremely active member of the I N UK Board of Trustees offering both her personal and professional experience along with her understanding of infertility which is invaluable. She’s a kind and lovely person to work with and I N UK are very lucky to have her help and support.

I’d like you all to join me and everyone at the charity in thanking Kate so very much for everything she has done and is yet to do(!) and to present her with this much deserved award!
