Meet our trustees

  • Yawar Choudhry

    Chair

    Yawar has been with Age UK Lambeth since 2015 and became the Hon Treasurer in 2016. He has extensive experience of developing new products and services across financial, automotive and IT sectors. He works in the Retirement division of Legal & General and in his recent role he helped set up the Legal & General Home Finance business offering a range of lifetime mortgages in the UK.

  • Colin Adamson

    Vice Chair

    Born in India and educated in Scotland, Colin had a career as a consultant specialising in customer service, complaint handling and consumer affairs. He has advised government, public sector organisations as well as major companies and professional bodies in the UK and abroad. The work was focused on bringing the user's voice into organisations – private, public and charitable - and helping managers and Boards collect, understand and then act on the users’ perceptions and experience. I have written and spoken on the subject as well as offering training on customer contact management and escalated complaint handling.

  • Uzema Ahmed

    Treasurer

  • Bernard Nawrat

    Trustee

    Bernard was born and lived in South London. For 20 years he worked in the Social Services department and has good insight into services for vulnerable people and how this has changed over the years. As someone with a strong social conscience, he applied for trustee Age UK Lambeth in order that he can add his experience and skills to make a difference. Charities pick up a lot of the slack in provision of services especially to older people so he thinks he can offer a valuable contribution and perspective to how these are organised and delivered.

  • Huw Herrity

    Trustee

    Originally from Wales, Huw has been a resident of Lambeth since 2014. He has a Chemistry Degree from the University of Manchester but has spent his working career in various IT and Transformation related roles for large financial services organisations. He hopes to bring his knowledge and experience to bear in helping to shape the use and adoption of technology by Age UK Lambeth.

  • Owen Davies

    Trustee

    Owen was raised in London but has a Welsh heritage. He studied history at university and then went on to qualify as a social worker. After working in Oxford and Sussex, he became a trade union officer and undertook a range of duties supporting workers in Local Government, the NHS, and the Voluntary Sector. He retired in 2015 but is currently chair of the Clapham Family Practice Patients Participation Group. He reviews opera and theatre for Plays to See and is a part-time student at Rose Bruford College in Sidcup. He has lived in Lambeth since 1984.

  • Kate Woollcombe

    Kate joined AUKL as a trustee in March 2014, newly retired after nearly forty years working in and around the NHS and local government in a variety of roles. Having started out as a nurse in the seventies, she later became a health services manager and then a commissioner, before moving into public health in 1999 and subsequently becoming a Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health.  She is particularly interested in the challenge of ‘adding life to years’ for all of us, and the part that organisations like AUKL can play in meeting it.  Kate has lived in Lambeth since 1982 and is a trustee for another local charity, The Friendly Almshouses.

  • Aaron Cue

    Aaron is a digital communications professional who has spent the majority of his career working for third-sector and media organisations. He recently joined the Civil Service and now works as Head of Digital Communications at a government department. Aaron is passionate about the power of digital communications and its use as a tool to bring people together and share messages with hard to reach audiences. A south London native, Aaron joined the board of trustees to help tackle social isolation and the digital divide.
