It is with much regret that the trustees record the death of our President, Hubert Dunn QC, on Thursday 27th February.

Hubert was an inspiration to many who grew up with Women Caring Trust and, as it became, Hope for Youth (NI). He had a long and varied career, but always regarded Northern Ireland as his spiritual home, particularly Tudor Hall in Holywood.

He took a leading role in our charity for many of its early years. He felt that helping young people build bridges was a way of seeing a brighter future. He excelled at getting younger supporters involved in the charity and was very proud when his daughter Eugenia became a trustee and chair of the Swim.

In latter years he retained his close interest and served as our President . Hubert was schooled at Winchester and New College, Oxford, served in the Life Guards and was called to the bar. He took silk in 1982 and became a circuit judge in 1993. He will be much missed by his family and all those in the charity who were proud to call him their friend.
