The people behind the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity.

Content start.

Anna Cairns

Appeals Director

Anna has been a fundraiser for nearly 20 years, working in the UK and internationally.  In her spare time, she can be found dipping (rarely actually swimming) in the sea, walking the coastline or searching the internet for a puppy to adopt.  The latter is taking up a surprising amount of time.

Karen Murrish

Fundraising Manager  

Karen has been a fundraiser in Cornwall for over 15 years. In her free time she can be found in charge of a power drill or paintbrush as an avid but unskilled DIY enthusiast, embracing her new passion for pickleball or thinking about going out for a run – the biggest hurdle being actually getting the trainers on!

Lynne Lees

Senior Philanthropy Officer 

Proud Cornishwoman Lynne spends her free time running, cycling and listening to Porthleven Town Band where she sits proudly on the Board of Trustees.

Amy Aucott

Community Fundraiser

Amy has been working for the charity since January 2023, she loves meeting all the community fundraisers for the charity and hearing their fundraising plans. Outside of work Amy has a young family that keeps her very busy, she enjoys exploring Cornwall with them. Amy can also be found tending to her ever growing collection of houseplants!

Vicki Bassett

Fundraising and Supporter Care Officer 

Vicki has worked in the charity sector for 10 years but previous to this used to own a woolly jumper shop! Vicki absolutely loves animals and can often be found talking to the cows whilst on the school run (her children find this very embarrassing!) Vicki’s bucket list is to see the Northern lights and to go whale watching. (Vicki hopes her husband is reading this!)
