Meet Chris

Chris was appointed as a Trustee by the Diocese of Lichfield and joined the Board of Trustees in November 2024. He is actively involved in his local community as a Parish Priest and is currently the Rector of Fauls, Tilstock and Whitchurch in Lichfield Diocese. A trustee on the board of several local charities, he loves enabling people’s gifts, bringing out the best in people and helping communities to thrive.

 

I am passionate about helping schools to work together for the benefit of children and young people, staff and the wider community, so I'm excited to work with my fellow trustees as we enable this imaginative and inclusive Trust.
