Meet Our Trustees

  • Robert Rankin – Chair of the board

    "I have been a Trustee for Age UK H&W for over 5 years, after leaving the IT business I wanted to apply my skills to a different area and Age UK H&W provides a vital social service for older people."

  • Maggie Wheatley – Vice Chair

  • Mike Newitt – Trustee

  • Mark Richardson - Trustee

    "Having seen how Age UK H&W provided practical help and advice to my parents when they needed it, I thought this is an organisation worth supporting. Plus, Mrs Newitt asked me to make sure Mike behaved himself."

  • Keith Trafford - Trustee

    "I have been a Trustee for over a decade (14 years!).. I do it because I feel that Age UK H&W is an organisation that really gives back to the older people of the community."

  • Peter Evans - Trustee

    "I joined the Board in March 2019 following the merger of AGEUK Droitwich with the regional charity. I served as Chair and acting CEO at Droitwich which gave me an insight into the needs of older people and how they may be addressed."

  • Caroline Smith – Trustee

  • Charli Wood - Trustee

    "I joined as a trustee in spring 2018. Born and raised in North Herefordshire, I now live and work in London, as head of child trafficking in the Home Office. With two generations of my family still living in the county, I visit often and still feel very connected to the county and the charity, having worked for Age Concern Leominster and District shortly after I left school."

  • Brian O’Connell - Trustee

    "I became a trustee of Age UK H&W in late 2020 having more or less retired from private practice as a solicitor, with more time on my hands I welcomed the opportunity to add my skills as a lawyer to the board. I hope that my knowledge and experience of the law gained over 40 years will be of use in guiding Age UK H&W in these interesting times."
