Trustee Week 2024

Meet some of our valued trustees below

I am thrilled to have recently joined the Anne Robson Trust as a fundraising trustee. I have the opportunity to support and assist our dedicated fundraising team in their incredible work, alongside an inspiring group of fellow trustees.

Raising more funds is essential to extend our support to more people and uphold our mission that "no one deserves to die alone".

Joining the board of trustees is something I have always aspired to do, after having worked many years in charities. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful team to work with.

The Anne Robson Trust do an incredible job helping people receive the support, companionship and comfort needed at the end of their life.

Having previous experience of being an End of Life Volunteer and now a Trustee, I know the vital role the charity plays in supporting people through such difficult times.

It’s been a real privilege to support them and their vision that ‘everyone should receive the support they need to face the end of life – whether their own or that of someone close to them’.

The Anne Robson Trust is a small charity with big ideas and an even bigger impact.

Having advised many charities on their strategy and communications in my career in advertising, I was keen to make this experience useful in a more intrinsic, impactful way as a Trustee.

The Trust’s cause and work really touched my heart, but it was the ambition and the can-do of the team that really inspired me to get involved.

As a Marketing Trustee, I view my role as enabling the organisation to think with ambition and precision about their brand, their messaging, and the effectiveness of their engagement with the public.

Being a Trustee for The Anne Robson Trust has allowed me to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of thousands of people across the UK.

The role has given me the opportunity to apply my skills and experience in a fresh context, to support and develop the inspiring team who run the charity and oversee the services delivered to so many.

It has been a deeply rewarding and inspiring experience. I’m proud of what the charity has accomplished over the last three years and energised by the promise and potential of our plans for the next two years.
