It’s with great sadness we share the news that our much-loved chair, Judy Robinson, has died suddenly and unexpectedly whilst away with friends. 

Judy was our friend and colleague and the impact of her loss is vast – her wisdom, positivity and unwavering commitment to social justice has been instrumental in shaping our work since she joined Healthwatch Sheffield in 2016.  

Judy believed firmly in the power of people to do good; as a volunteer, she worked tenaciously in her role to help build a fairer, healthier city for the people of Sheffield.  She gave her time generously, with kind, compassionate, thoughtful leadership as her distinctive style.  

Our thoughts are with all those who knew Judy – we know she was cherished by many.
