“Cath's commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, young people and the trans community never wavered.

“Her dedication, compassion and determination helped shape our organisation and touched the lives of so many people.

“We will always be grateful for the years of hard work, guidance, friendship and laughter she gave to Doncaster Pride.

“Cath was a woman of many talents.

Whether it was helping behind the scenes, offering words of wisdom, or making what many of us would agree was a cracking bacon sandwich, she always found a way to look after those around her.

“Cath, you will be deeply missed.”
