Cyril Lafferty

Lead Oxygen Therapy Operator

In his career in the Royal Navy, Cyril specialised as a Clearance Diving Officer. His principal duty was dealing him with underwater bomb and mine disposal, but he also became involved in experimental deep diving research and operations in both the Royal Navy and the US Navy.
As a result he worked with specialist Doctors which led him to take an interest in the use of Oxygen as a medicine. Both he and other members of his family have benefited from the use of Oxygen Therapy to overcome cancer and other serious diseases and he now is determined to help others to also benefit from the use of Baric Oxygen Therapy.

Judy Reynolds

Oxygen Therapy Operator

I’ve enjoyed volunteering at the Samson Centre since July 2020 after retiring from a lengthy career in TV and music.  The Samson Centre is such a great resource. The clients are lovely and my fellow colleagues are a delight to work with. I’m more than happy to have swapped press deadlines and the London commute for exploring the Surrey countryside with my dog, family and friends.

Duncan Howe

Trustee / Lead Oxygen Therapy Operator

I have been involved with the Samson Centre right from the beginning. Being a member of Guildford Sub-Aqua Club who use the Waterside as their club house and boatshed I wanted to give something back. So I became an Oxygen operator , learning to become a 2nd and then a Lead Operator. I now carry out the practical training of new Oxygen volunteers.

I have been self employed for the last 15 years running my own driving school that specialises in trailer training, D1 Minibus & D1E Minibus and trailer categories.

My passion is Scuba diving and I have dived all over the world – from Bognor reef, Scapa Flow, Ice diving in Russia, The Great Barrier reef, Indonesia, Galapagos Islands and Selsey Bill.
