Julia aims for £1m fundraising target

The Encephalitis Society, which is based in Malton, has appointed Julia Clark as director of income generation.

Dr Ava Easton, chief executive of The Encephalitis Society, welcomed the appointment.

She said: “I am delighted with this key appointment.

“Julia brings great experience and skills and the society will benefit tremendously in the years ahead.”

Julia said: “I am looking forward to being a part of the charity’s new, ambitious strategic plan.”
