Trustees

Ian White

Tim Mutum

Tim is also a Trustee of Abbeycroft Leisure, a not-for-profit social enterprise. "I worked in local government for 40 years before retirement, and realised I had transferable skills and expertise that could be put to good use in the voluntary sector to help people in the community. That is hugely satisfying and rewarding, but I have also learnt a lot and forged new friendships too which is an added bonus!"
