Meet our Volunteer Board Members and the rest of the Team
Tony Smith
Tony is a MHLECA Trustee and our Chairperson. He leads on corporate, finance, IT and fundraising
"I wanted to give back to my local community and chose to volunteer for MHLECA because I am touched by its mission to help lonely and isolated older people having experienced first hand the impact this had on my father. I was also inspired by the charity's wonderful outcomes and innovative projects and saw an opportunity for me to learn something new while using my skills and experience to help the charity move forward, and is both challenging and rewarding in equal measure."
Lisa Carpenter
Lisa is a MHLECA Trustee and Vice Chair. Lisa leads on our website and communications as well as directly helping and mentoring Team FaNs.
"Having been a part of the team for a few years, I am proud to witness the wonderful things that are happening to enrich the lives of our older residents in care homes. Feeling part of their local community again is invaluable to many of the residents and it’s very simple things that we can all do to ensure they are still included."
Emma Clark
Emma is a MHLECA Trustee and leads on legal and employment matters.
"My reasons for becoming involved with MHLECA are both personal and professional. I can clearly see how these projects are hugely beneficial to all the people involved and the positive effects that come by them re-engaging with the community around them. Within the area of law I practice I believe I have developed useful skills which may assist the charity in trying to achieve its vision."
