Our Trustee's

Chair
Paul Bywater
I have involved in the construction industry in various roles for 58 years and following retirement in 2013 I continued with part time consultancy work and various voluntary roles, including the establishment of the Steering group to run Crowland Library following the closure of some 30+ Libraries in Lincolnshire.
I have also been the editor of Crowland Town Magazine for the last 7 years.

Secretary
Sue Simmons
I joined the Community Hub in November 2023 after working on the poppy drape with Julie Smith (former Trustee). My background is in Human Resource and Business Management in Education, Service and Manufacturing sectors. I am the Secretary and lead on a variety of projects for the Community Hub. I have undertaken projects for Sue Ryder and CRUK in the past. I have lived in Crowland for over 20 years and want to be able to engage with and give back to my local community.

Trustee
Annette Turner
I joined Crowland Community Hub as a volunteer in January 2024 and then became a Trustee in February 2024. As a Trustee I wanted to learn more about the charity and get more involved.
I spend many hours each week at the Hub, in the Shop, doing Hub related work at home or having Hub related meetings over a coffee with my fellow Trustee Sue.
Part of my role as a Volunteer Trustee is actively helping to work on ideas and implement projects, that support the Crowland Community in one way or another.

Trustee
Peter Sparkes
I'm Peter, a trustee of Crowland Community Hub and I have seen the hub grow and develop as a valuable community asset providing valued services and a focal point for the many groups that use it.
Married to Kirsty we live a short distance from the town, using the services it provides regularly

Trustee
Mike Hutchinson
​I’m Mike Hutchinson, and I was born in London in the 1950’s, later moving to Hertfordshire. My wife, Joanne, and I took early retirement in 2018 and moved to Shepeau Stow once we had finished working on the house we bought in 2014. We always said we would volunteer when we retired, so in 2019 we volunteered at the Hub on Thursday mornings and the Abbey in the afternoon. I have a great love of local history and Crowland is steeped in it, so along with my work as building manager, I’m now a Trustee, and also run the Local History Research Group on a Thursday morning.
