Six new Trustees join the Hampton Trust Board
Six new Trustees have been appointed to the Hampton Trust Board. Following an open recruitment process with adverts placed on volunteer websites and shared with partners and stakeholders, the following members took up their roles in October:
- Cait Allen – CEO with a marketing and PR background and a survivor of domestic abuse
- Siobhan Avery – Paediatric Nurse with health commissioning experience
- Chris Brown – Retired Police Superintendent and former community safety lead
- Anthony Coombes – Marketing, data analysis and strategy expert and former university lecturer
- Daniel Grist – Public sector consultant with a focus on making sure that projects deliver real value for people and that change sticks
- James Sweetland – Senior strategy consultant for police forces, PCCs, and criminal justice agencies, and former volunteer with the Samaritans
Chantal Hughes, Chief Executive of Hampton Trust, said:
We’re incredibly proud to welcome our new Trustees to the organisation. This feels like a really positive time for Hampton Trust; our Board can take us to the next phase of our journey as a charity with a national voice, and I’m so grateful to have all our Trustees with their exceptional experience and skills.
I would also like to thank our long-standing Trustees for being my lighthouse. I don’t know whether I’ve ever referred to them as that before, and they might not identify themselves in that way, but they definitely are a guide to me.
They are all passionate about the work we do. I walk away from our conversations feeling really energised because, while I live and breathe this work every day, when I share it with the Board and see their enthusiasm and energy, it reminds me not to lose sight of our achievements in the day-to-day.
