Theo Schofield OBEChair
I was a general practitioner in The Medical Centre, Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire UK for 35 years. I was involved in primary care team development, and worked with the local community to build a Day Centre in the Community Hospital, and to set up a community transport scheme, Shipston Link.
I also held academic posts in the University of Oxford, and was a Member of the Council of the Royal College of General Practitioners. My wife Gill and I moved to Emsworth in 2012. I am also Chairman of the Emsworth Residents Association. I became a trustee of the Friends in 2016, and organised the Emsworth Friends Health Fair in 2017. |

JANE HOLLANDTreasurer
After a varied career as a secondary school mathematics teacher, Head of Faculty and, more recently, the founder of a successful accountancy and bookkeeping practice, I have always been passionate about helping others gain the confidence and knowledge to achieve their potential.
Since moving to the Emsworth area in 2007, I have supported a number of local initiatives, including sponsoring the girls' section of a local rugby club to help widen opportunities for young women. More recently, I have worked with the Neurodevelopmental Service at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust supporting their work in raising awareness and understanding of Autism Spectrum Condition within healthcare settings. I became the Treasurer of Friends of Emsworth Community Health because I believe in the importance of local communities working together to improve health and wellbeing, and to support the charity's valuable work across the local area. |

DUNCAN CAMERONI have spent most of my working life in the healthcare industry, initially working as a drug rep in the Emsworth area and then heading up a sales team for NHS blood plasma company, BPL. Currently I own and run a growing care agency called Right at Home, based in Havant, which has just recently been awarded an overall rating of Outstanding from the Care Quality Commission.
Whilst growing up the emphasis on care and support in the community was ever present. I learned from watching my parents, a village GP and a practice nurse, how you can make a big difference in people's lives through offering your time and assistance. In my mid thirties I attended night school to train as a Garden Designer and landscaper where I achieved a Diploma. To this day I am a very keen, hands on gardener, but more a hobbyist than an expert. Through this blend of care and gardening it seemed obvious to be involved with the fantastic work of FECH and, when I was approached by to become a trustee, I jumped at the opportunity. |

Simon wadeI have worked in Emsworth for the past 15-years at MindWorks Marketing, and its from here I first became connected to The Friends, previously helping to support the Community Health & Wellbeing Fair. It's a great honour to now join the Charity as a Trustees where I can make a greater and longer-term impact supporting health care services in the local community.
I have a personal interest in health which is driven by close family connections to autism, Downs Syndrome and Type-1 Diabetes – giving me firsthand insights into the importance of comprehensive health support. |

CARLA BUTCHER
During my 22 years in the banking sector, I qualified as an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Banking and progressed to Corporate Relationship Director.
I then spent five years running my own business as a Bikeability and British Cycling Coach, working in schools and with councils with children and adults of all abilities, including those with SEND and those requiring adapted cycles.
For the past 12 years, I have been Business Manager and part of the Senior Leadership Team at Glenwood Secondary SEN School in Emsworth, where I had previously taught.
Having previously lived in Emsworth and now working in the town, I became increasingly involved with the Friends and subsequently became a trustee. Through the school, I have seen first-hand the difference their work makes and am keen to support Emsworth’s local businesses, community and wellbeing.
