We are very sorry to say that chair of BRASS, Veta Hudson-Rae, passed away last week after a brief illness. Veta was our chair for the last 6 years, during which time BRASS has continued to survive and grow in a time of austerity. She was always on hand to give us support and wise advice.

Our thoughts are with her family and all her friends.
