Transform trustees share powerful words for Trustees' Week 2021

Friday 5 November marks the end of Trustees' Week, an annual event which celebrates the contribution of trustees across the charity sector.

To acknowledge this occasion in 2020 we released a series of written interviews with Ollie Smedley, Katie Wadey, and Chris Deacon  three of Transform's current trustees. They spoke in depth about their professional backgrounds, Transform's achievements during the Covid-19 pandemic, and some of the board's objectives for the year 2020/21. 

This year, we interviewed Chris Deacon, Jane Bolton, and Natalia Kolotneva in three exclusive videos, which you can watch below. They shared their thoughts on a variety of topics, ranging from the passion and commitment demonstrated by Transform colleagues to the board's evolution throughout the years. 


We would like to thank all of Transform's trustees for the passion and expertise they bring to the board. This includes Mark Austen (also Chairman), Ollie Smedley, Jane Bolton, Julie Bradley, Chris Deacon, Natalia Kolotneva, Paul Rees, Michael Ryan, and Katie Wadey.
