Peter Rouch
Trustee
Peter is currently the CEO of Church Army UK & Ireland, a Christian charity working to address social deprivation through partnership and collaboration. He became a Trustee for Hampton Trust in 2019.
After an early career with Barclays Bank, Peter trained for ministry at Westcott House in Cambridge. Following a curacy in London and a period as a research fellow at St Stephen’s House in Oxford, Peter was then Priest-in-Charge of two parishes near the centre of Manchester, followed by nearly a decade as Archdeacon of Bournemouth, a short period at Lambeth, and in the Diocese of Winchester.
Peter’s work as an Archdeacon brought him face-to-face with the complex and challenging aspects of domestic abuse and motivated him to become a Trustee of Hampton Trust. His work with the Trust has proven to be profoundly rewarding, allowing him to directly contribute to breaking destructive cycles.
