My wife, Rose Hallam, who has died aged 69 of cancer, was an inspiration to many through her work as an occupational therapist, in mental health and community services, and as a maker of jewellery.
After training at the London School of Occupational Therapy, Rose began her working life in Oxford in 1975 as deputy head occupational therapist at the Warneford hospital. In 1985 she became the third director (chief executive) of Restore, a mental health charity based in the Cowley area of the city.
