Alex and Claire van Straubenzee - Trustees - Henry's parents

As Henry's parents, Alex and Claire were very keen to develop a lasting memorial to his life. What started as a one off donation to the school in Uganda, where Henry was destined to teach, has grown into projects in 14 different schools by the end of 2009.

Thomas and Charlie van Straubenzee - Trustees - Henry's brothers

Charlie Savory - Trustee - Close family friend and chartered accountant.

Peter Gate - (Director)

Peter himself taught at Bupadhengo Primary School in 2003 - the school at which Henry was to have taught. Since then Peter has worked with the van Straubenzee family in order to manage the projects in Uganda. He is responsible for co-ordinating our team in Uganda and liasing with the schools to plan and implement each project. Peter has spent over 9 months in Uganda in the last 5 years and enjoys a close personal relationship with all of the schools we work with. In addition, he has been invited to join the Board of Governors for three of our schools, and has been appointed an 'elder' in the village of Bupadhengo.

Peter was named Clydesdale Bank Young Person of the Year 2006 in recognition of his work in Uganda.
