Chris Yuill took over as Treasurer of the Durban Child and Youth Care Centre during 1991, and held this position until 2017 when he handed over the reins to Grant Fincham.

Over the years that he served as the Treasurer, and then a general member of the Board, Chris made sure that the finances of the organisation were carefully administered to ensure the sustainability of the organisation. His integrity and attention to the smallest detail resulted in our ability to withstand some challenging financial storms.

It is not only Chris’s astute mind, financial expertise and general knowledge of the workings of this organisation that have made him an invaluable asset, but also his heart for children, concern for staff and genuine love for the Children’s Homes that will be missed.

We are pleased that he will continue to be involved in advising the organisation on a range of matters, as an Honorary Committee Member.
