NEWS & EVENTS NEWS & EVENTS Meet Your Board Members

Trevor Hillman

Hi, I’m Trevor, and I joined the Board in February 2020. I really look forward to getting to know more of you when this Coronavirus is all over and we can meet up properly. I’m really keen to understand what is important to you, what you want from the Board, and how I can help.

I am a father of three children (as well as a Granda, but I’m not dead old, honest!) with 2 grown up sons (Michael and Gavin) and a teenage daughter, Alanna.

In my business life I worked across Scotland and other parts of the UK at a senior executive level, where I had responsibility and accountability for defining the vision, the strategic direction, the people, sales, financial performance, and regulatory compliance of a large insurance business. When I took early retirement in 2019 I decided I was still too young to slip into a dull retirement, so becoming part of the Board at a charity I care passionately about seemed a good way to use my time and my skills.

Whilst I’m not personally Care Experienced, my daughter is, and that is one of the reasons I care so much about WC?S. We adopted Alanna 10 years ago after a lengthy process with Social Work. We are fiercely proud of her and she is loved in the same way as her 2 older brothers. Alanna is a WC?S Member, and my wife Zoey works in the Paisley office, so you could say we’ve become a Who Cares? Scotland family! You may even remember Alanna as she spoke on stage at the 2019 Love Rally. That was a very emotional moment for me, as she openly spoke about love in her lifelong, adoptive family. But I’m very aware that so much more needs to be done until all Care Experienced people feel that same level of equality, respect, and especially love. That’s why I want to make a difference by being on the Board.

There are a number of new members on the Board and I’m loving being one of them. We have complimentary skills and work well together, and what I hopefully bring is my business experience together with time, energy and a sense of humour.

It is a particularly busy time for the Board at the moment as we’re working hard to recruit the new CEO to replace Duncan, and we’re determined to find someone with the skills, experience and passion that our members deserve. I’m also a registered volunteer, driving the WC?S minibus before Covid. I’ve done the Kiltwalk 3 times, this year raising £1500, and attended various WC?S events.

When I’m not being a Board Member, Dad or Volunteer, (and when I’ve done all my chores like the housework!) I love getting out on my motorbike to travel around Scotland and meet up with all my biker buddies. I love to chat, so please don’t be shy and come up and say hello when we get the chance to meet.
