Why do I want to be a Barnwood Trustee?

Having worked alongside Barnwood Trust for more than a decade and served on its Funding Committee, I have seen firsthand the difference its work makes across Gloucestershire. Becoming a Trustee feels like a natural next step, allowing me to support an organisation whose values of inclusion, opportunity and long-term change strongly align with my own.

What experience do I bring to the Trust?

I bring nearly 20 years of experience in community leadership, governance, fundraising and partnership development. In my various roles, including as CEO of Forest Voluntary Action Forum, I have secured significant investment for communities, led cross-sector collaborations and championed inclusive approaches that help people and communities thrive.
