The Trustees
The Friends’ Board of Trustees (“the Board”) is the overall governing board for the charity. It is an independent board which oversees, scrutinises and guides the charity’s activities and makes decisions where appropriate to ensure good governance. The Board is ultimately responsible for deciding which projects for the preservation or enhancement of St Andrew’s Church are to be supported financially with the Friends’ funds, mindful that all projects need to be approved by the Alfriston PCC and where necessary the Diocese of Chichester.
The aim is to recruit a Board which represents the both demographic and diversity of the local community and visitors who all benefit from the building as a place or worship and cultural amenity.
The founding trustees are:
Anthony Tallents Davy (Chair)
Carol Hodson
Geoffrey Ellis
Rev Stephen Stuckes
