Kate Platts
Kate Platts is listed by Parkinson’s UK as Kate Platts. Own published biography: Kate Platts I was honoured to be appointed in 2023 to represent Members on the Board of Trustees for Parkinson’s UK and look forward to helping shape and ensure the delivery of all of the charity’s strategic aims. As the finance contact for the Sheffield Support Group of volunteers, I work proactively to support and create a community for those with Parkinson's locally. I also enjoy supporting the regional fundraising activities. As a Fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Finance Director for a national social care sector charity, I believe I can bring my financial skills and acumen to be a highly effective member of the Board and ensure we have the funds to invest in Parkinson’s UK. I will use my experiences of postdoctoral work in cancer research within the NHS and university settings to contribute effectively at meetings, supporting the provision of excellent health care and investing in research for new treatments. In my spare time, I love nothing more than being with my family, keeping fit, going to the theatre and reading.
