Meet The Board

Since our beginning in 1986 with founder trustees David Brayshaw, Sir Hugh Neill and the Earl of Scarbrough we have continued our legacy of having a strong and dedicated board of trustees. Each member of the board brings with them their skills, experience and passion for local community, to help us to not only continue our work but to make each year better than the last.
