Stephen joined the Board of Trustees in 2008 after becoming interested in the work of the Trust through his regular attendance at the Portland Road and Clarendon Forum meetings.  He has been an Anglican priest for 38 years and the Rector of Aldrington, West Hove for the past 24 years.  He feels that the way the Trust carries out its work fits well with his ministry philosophy that the church should go to the community and on the communities terms.
