Robert Spigel, former Sense trustee

"I personally remember Jessica whilst serving as a Sense trustee for eight years. As Chairman, she was kind, supportive and utterly focused on how the decisions we took would benefit deafblind people. Some years ago, as a trustee board, we were discussing how we would go about looking for Jessica's successor. We asked her to write down all the work she did as our 'leader', and found that her workload on behalf of the charity was a absolutely immense. She was devoting all her time to Sense.

My abiding regret is that my deafblind daughter, who will turn 18 in mid April, will never know how much her fantastic progress owes to Jessica's dedication. Thank you Jessica."
