Our Board of Trustees has six members, each with a specific interest and expertise in issues affecting the lgbt communities.
Andrew Moffatt (Chair)
Andrew has been a trustee at PACE since August 2005 and is currently Director of Fundraising at Bowel Cancer UK, a national charity raising awareness of the UK’s second highest cancer killer. Andrew has been working in fundraising for just under 20 years in the charitable sector including mental health, homelessness, drugs and alcohol and HIV/AIDS. Andrew is particularly interested in the excellent and innovative ways the voluntary sector can work positively with “excluded groups” to bring about real change. He has an MA in Gender Society & Culture centred specifically on the gay and lesbian experience. He was also a Trustee of Streetwise Youth and sat on the Pan London HIV/AIDS Consortium.
Maxine Holdsworth
Maxine has been a PACE trustee for 4 years. She is the Head of Sustainability at Islington Local Authority. She previously worked as a senior policy analyst at the National Consumer Council, an advocacy organisation that conducts research, analyses policy and campaigns for change and at Lasa (the London Advice Services Alliance) coordinating and developing policy for voluntary sector advice organisations campaigning on social welfare law issues, social exclusion and regeneration. She sees Pace as delivering essential services in a positive, professional and compassionate way to lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in London, and is proud to be a trustee.
Martin Humes
Martin joined the board in October 2008 and is currently a practising Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA) providing statutory advocacy across 14 London Boroughs for Cambridge House, a multipurpose charity located in LB of Southwark. Martin’s role as an advocate practitioner means he encounters all disciplines of service provision from mental health and learning disabilities, to surgical and adult abuse and he can clearly see the need for a specialist service like PACE to provide for the most vulnerable and needy members of our LGBT community. Martin previously piloted an older persons residential advocacy scheme in Southwark, and worked for several years as a dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease specialist provider for LB of Newham. Martin has also sampled the highs and lows of fashion and consumer PR, as well as a hugely enjoyable year spent as a men’s model booker for a large London agency.
