Trustees
"We are a board of directors completely committed to the vision and aim's of Camp Quality. We are serious about fun and want children with a potentially life limiting illness to realise their potential. This is done through gaining positive childhood experiences, and that is what we are committed to offering today, just as we did 20 years ago."

Russell Casey
Russell first became involved with Camp Quality as a camper, after being diagnosed with Cancer at the age of twelve. He attended several holidays, and by the age of seventeen, became a Companion. Russell has been to some thirteen camps, two of them as co-director. He has enjoyed every moment with Camp Quality, and would love to continue being involved with the Charity for many years to come.
He believes that through his own illness he has been able to offer children, who are going through similar experiences, the opportunity to take part in many life-lasting experiences the children will always remember.
His dedication and commitment has made a great contribution to his role on the Executive Committee. Something, he wishes to continue in whatever capacity it may be.
Jean Casey
Jean has spent many years working in an accounts office, and well used to dealing with money. However, she first came across Camp Quality when her 13-year old son, who had a brain tumour removed one year earlier, was offered a place on a holiday.
She became a companion on several camps, then a Camp Director assuming overall responsibility for an individual camp. Since then, Jean has joined the Board of Trustees taking responsibility for finance.
Jean is very keen for every child with a cancer-related illness to have the chance to go on a holiday, and make long-lasting friendships in the process.
Delyth Thomas
Delyth has been a companion at many of the holidays since 2005. She would be the first to say that she has thoroughly enjoyed her time volunteering, today she works on bringing the holidays together to make them fun.
Chris Buswell
Chris Buswell is a GP living and working in the York area. In 2007 he was pleased to be asked to join the Chamonix trip as camp doctor and companion. He found this to be an extremely rewarding experience and was delighted to be invited onto the executive committee. Chris will be participating in the future trips, getting stuck in as both camp doctor and companion and is looking forward to future challenges.
Chris Witte
Chris joined Camp Quality in 2009 at the time when one of his best friend's children was diagnosed with Cancer. He has worked in a number of senior Sale and Marketing roles in blue chip companies and currently heads up the Marketing and Communications team at Kingspan Ltd. Chris believes that by driving greater public awareness of the charity's work, many more children with life threatening illnesses will get to enjoy the fantastic Camp Quality holiday experience.
