From the 1st February, we were able to announce the final steps in recent changes to the Coddenham Centre’s Trustees and leadership.

We are delighted to formally welcome Nick Mills as Chair as of the 1st February 2026. Nick has been a regular volunteer supporter for the past two years. A Coddenham resident of over twenty years and Parish Councillor, the Trustees and outgoing founding members, feel his energy & enthusiasm, along with a lifelong career in project management will be a tremendous asset.

He joins two new Trustees recruited in 2025. John Whitehead contributes his experience in accounting and particularly local government, where he is well known as both our District and Parish Councillor. John will take on the Treasurer role. We were also delighted to welcome Rachel Carter, fresh from leading last year’s successful Coddenham Fete. Rachel has established experience in both the voluntary and charitable sectors.

Finally, another local resident Kathryn Lillingston has joined us as Marketing Administrator and Deputy Centre Manager. An addition to the part time, salaried support team of Gail Springett, Centre Manager and Charmaine Hall, Centre Care, Kathryn is a keen sports person, already working with Trustees and Gail to introduce netball to our refurbished courts, alongside further developing our web and social media.All join Trustees, Debbie McDonnell, Elaine Thomas, Nick Mills and outgoing chair, Andrew MacPherson, working together with our volunteers to take the Coddenham Centre ever onwards.
