Trustees

Hillcrest (UK) has a number of key trustees helping to ensure the charity meets its charitable objectives and driving new ideas and ways of supporting Hillcrest and working with the local community both in South Africa and the UK.
 

	Fr Gwyn Clement We take so much for granted in this country especially from state funded education and the Health Service. It is a privilege to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves and to provide valuable experience to our young people who help with the work of this charity.
	Bridget Evans Initially when I became involved with Hillcrest, it was the concept of "Children for Children" which I felt was so important.  Having seen first hand the diverse and effective work of the charity, and the way in which the money raised changes lives, I wanted to do more and became a Trustee.
	Mary Findlow Working in education allows me to see the caring and generous nature of young people.   Being a trustee for the Hillcrest Charity helps me to bridge the gap between our young people and those in South Africa, so enabling both groups to realise their potential and to take their places as healthy, successful members of society.
	Helen Ormiston From the moment Margaret came to our church and introduced Hillcrest I thought 'what a wonderful and worthwhile charity'.  Through the church I've got the Sunday school children involved with Hillcrest. We know exactly what happens with the money - Margaret takes pictures for our children and the Hillcrest schools send letters and pictures to us. When I was asked to become a trustee I jumped at the opportunity to join. It is such a fantastic charity to be involved in.
	David Parker Hillcrest is the sort of charity that cries out to be supported. I am always enormously humbled to think about how big a difference such relatively small sums of money can make to the innocent victims of HIV/AIDS. I am pleased to have the opportunity to fundraise at Davenant Foundation School.
	Margaret Turnbull When I first visited South Africa in 2001 I found that I could not walk away.  As I work in education it gave me the opportunity to involve young people to help young people with both those in England and South Africa learning from the experience.  So the charity was born
