Carrie Wheater, RAY’s first paid employee and current CEO, was invited to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in May, just in time to celebrate 15 years of employment with RAY, to recognise the work she an the rest of the staff and volunteers do to support refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in York.
“It was a wonderful afternoon, and the Palace gardens are beautiful. It is fantastic to have the dedication and hard work of all our staff, volunteers and trustees recognised, and I was honoured to be there representing RAY,” said Carrie after the event.
