Five new Trustees for CSAN


The Trustees of CSAN (Caritas Social Action Network) have welcomed five new members to the Board. Steven Webb, Sarah Teather MP, Liz Dodds and Bishop Tom Williams join the new Chair, Bishop Terry Drainey, on the charity’s Board of Trustees. Naturally, all have a commitment to social justice and action.

Steven Webb is the Director of the Brentwood Catholic Children’s Society and Liz Dodds sat on the senior management team and now acts as a Trustee of Nugent Care; both organisations are members of CSAN.

Sarah Teather MP, has served as a Member of Parliament in inner London for 11 years and takes a particular interest in housing and refugee issues. She served for two and a half years in the coalition government as Minister for Children and Families, where she was responsible for early years education, special educational needs, young carers and child poverty.

Speaking of her appointment to the Board of Trustees, Sarah Teather MP said: “I am passionate about what CSAN does. On a whole range of policy areas that affect the poorest and most marginalised there is an urgent need for advocacy that makes the case for human value and dignity. That is what CSAN does. It is a great privilege to join the team.”

The new Chair of CSAN, Bishop Terry Drainey has worked as the “fidei donum” priest in the Archdiocese of Kisumu in western Kenya, as a Parish Priest in Salford Diocese and sat as Spiritual Director at the Royal English College of St Albans in Spain. He is the Bishop of Middlesbrough.

During his ministry, Bishop Tom Williams has been a member of FLAME, travelling to Lourdes with young people with disabilities as well as working with the St. Anthony’s Lourdes Trust which finds funding to train local teenagers to work with young people with disabilities in Lourdes. He is current Chair of the Bishops’ Conference Healthcare Reference Group.
