The Lord’s Taverners is excited to announce the appointment of four new Trustees that will help drive our work to positively impact the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality.
Following an extensive recruitment process, we are delighted to announce that the four new Trustees, appointed on a skills basis, are Jennifer Barnett, Rachel Kirby-Rider, Sukhjit Grewal and Francis D’Souza. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience in lived experience, fundraising, membership organisations and finance respectively.
Working with the existing board, they will support the charity’s strategy to deliver greater impact and grow the reach and diversity of our inclusive national cricket programmes that empower young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities.
The charity, which worked with more than 10,000 young people last year, works to empower young people to develop the knowledge, skills, capabilities that are required to overcome the challenges of inequality and reach their potential.
Tim Luckhurst, Lord’s Taverners Chair of Trustees, said: “As we work towards delivering our new strategy and the transformation of the organisation, we are delighted to welcome Jenn, Rachel, Sukhjit and Francis to the board – all forward-thinking, innovative individuals with significant expertise across a wide range of sectors. As we enter the next stage in our growth, they will complement the broad range of skills, experience and fantastic people that we already possess on the board of Trustees.
“We are proud of what we have been able to achieve collectively and also excited by the future as we positively impact the lives of thousands of more young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities.
“The number of young people who face the challenge of inequality grows every day and there is still so much we can do. But collectively – as members, supporters, partners, staff and volunteers and now a board of Trustees with even greater diversity and experience – we can continue our focus to put the young people we support at the heart of everything we do.”
The charity can also announce that Gordon Kennedy has been re-elected to the board of Trustees after being unopposed and Suzy Christopher has been confirmed as Vice-Chair.
