“I’ve been a Board Trustee for around five years and am always heartened and humbled when I spend time with my fellow Trustees and the Carolina House team.
Whilst our role as Trustees is to both support and challenge the team on their strategies and operations, the work they all put in is so far removed from the commercial nature of my day to day business, it does make me very proud to be involved and trusted.
The team here deal with our most important asset, children. Not only that, but children who have not had the best start in life, yet every time we meet, there is a good news story somewhere and this cannot fail to gladden the heart.
We also get the chance to meet with the foster parents and the work they do is truly amazing – I only wish we could attract many more people like these as there is a huge need for good foster parents in the UK.
If anyone is considering a Trustee role in the charitable sector, do it. Your life will improve no end.”
