The sad day has arrived when we have to wave off our valiant Campaigns Manager, Corrina. We know you'll agree that over the last two years she has well and truly brought The Parents' Jury to the forefront of campaigning for better environments for children. She's changed us in numerous ways, set us up in the digital world and hopefully started us on the path to bigger and better things. Thank you Corrina for helping us grow and we wish you every success for your life in the future.
