As we have just lost a formidable figure and member of the Foundation in Alan, we recognise the great loss and welcome on board not one, but two new valued members to join us.

Our members are people that endorse and value the work we do as a charity. They also take a keen interest in the future of the organisation and pass  on their observations and feedback, so that we may pave the way forward with their external views and expertise in mind. Our thanks must go to Jane Cleverly and Rt. Hon Michael Gove MP for agreeing to join us this year.

Jane Cleverly

Jane is the wife of the late Alan Cleverly and has been a loyal supporter of the Foundation since it began in 2005. Jane comes to us with a wealth of hands on experience, helping Alan to successfully organise and execute many a charitable function. She is a well respected lady who is keen to lend a hand to help whenever she can. We could not think of a more fitting person to carry on the good work that Alan started all those years ago.

Rt. Hon Michael Gove MP

Michael Gove is a Conservative politician, who was Secretary of State for Education from 2010 to 2014 and Secretary of State for Justice from 2015 to 2016. He has been a Member of Parliament (MP) for Surrey Heath since 2005. He is also an author and was a columnist for The Times. Michael has supported our work for a number of years and most recently kindly appeared in one of our Nepal appeal videos. He is also keen to see and hear more about the work we do locally in Surrey Heath. Another loyal supporter whose wish is to see more people given an opportunity to benefit from the support of a helping hand when it is needed most.
