The Millfields Trust would not exist without our amazing voluntary Board of Directors. This week we would like to introduce you to our Vice-Chair, Bronwen Hewitt.
Bronwen has been with us for nearly 2 years, and what a difference she has made already, working alongside our other pro-active board directors. In her past life (there is one before the Millfields Trust you know!), Bronwen worked for many years as a CEO of a charity for children, young people and adults with disabilities.
After retirement, she took some time to travel and indulge her creative side but soon realised she may be able to use her skills voluntarily. After a chance meeting with Roger Pipe, Chief Executive of the Trust, and hearing all about the wide variety of projects Millfields are involved in such as rental of business premises/enterprise units, pubs, housing and Millfields Inspired, there was no stopping her from wanting to get involved!
Bronwen enjoys being a part of something that is focused on helping her community of Stonehouse. Her enthusiasm carries through to ensure we do this with complete passion and care. Bronwen says:
“The Millfields Trust is constantly looking to develop projects; be it working to support and develop Makers HQ or inspiring ways to create a sense of pride in Stonehouse. Watch this space!”
Bronwen is also involved in other community projects and is really impressed by the energy that is present in Plymouth from local grassroots organisations, artists and others who are constantly working towards creating a better City. Amongst this busy schedule, Bronwen also has her own creative studio.
Bronwen continued: “You only retire from your employment, not your passions nor life. I was passionate about the young people I worked with and that doesn’t go away; it still burns brightly”.
Thank you so much for the work you do Bronwen, your wit, charm, infectious laughter and energy makes our day!
