Bernard Harvey – Trustee

One of the “younger members” by virtue of only recently joining the erstwhile body of Trustees. With over 25 years of Corporate HR experience, it seems natural for me to Chair the HR working group and we would be pleased to hear your views and concerns.

The Duke of Devonshire KCVO, CBE, DL – Patron

I was delighted to be invited to become Patron of The Enthusiasm Trust particularly at this time of exciting development as they look towards expanding their activities into social enterprise and providing more education, recreation and training opportunities for young people to develop and release their potential.

It is testament to the success and long term value of this work that many of those who were first helped by the Enthusiasm Trust are now themselves mentoring others in their local communities and bringing fresh ideas forward.

I hope you can join me in supporting The Enthusiasm Trust and the vital partnerships they are developing with young people and other local organisations.

The Duke of Devonshire KCVO, CBE, DL.
