At its last meeting the Fieldfare Board of Trustees was pleased to welcome two new members.

He is President of the Buckinghamshire Society for the Blind and has a keen interest in countryside access. He is currently seconded from the Equality and Human Rights Commission to the Department of Communities and Local Government working on inclusion issues within the Sustainable Communities programme.
