Mr Brennan said: “I would like to thank David for his outstanding contribution and the support he has given to Peace Hospice Care.
“The charity has faced challenging times in the past but David’s leadership has set the charity on a positive and confident path.
“We will continue his good work and strive in reaching out to the community, helping many more people and maintaining the outstanding standards of care for which we are known.”
