Our Trustees

The mission of Kingshill House is:

'To advance the education of the public through the provision of a centre, for the promotion of education in the arts and other leisure time and recreational activities to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capabilities.' 

Kingshill operates as a not-for-profit organisation, with charitable status. The day-to-day work of the organisation is run by the small team of paid staff (find out who we are here) and the mission and governance of the charity is overseen by the Board of Trustees. All trustees have professional experience and each have their own special connection to Kingshill House.

Alison Isherwood 
Chairwoman
Alison has recently taken the post of Chair, after being the Treasurer for the last three years. A retired Chartered Accountant with experience both in Accountancy practice and with Cadbury Schweppe, Alison has also been a Trustee/Treasurer for two other charities in the past 15 years.

​ Her personal connection with Kingshill House is through attending stained glass courses plus other workshops.
David Bush
​
David is a regular attendee at events and classes in the house, and became a Trustee around 7 years ago.  A retired Air Traffic Controller, he now works in the legal services sector and he brings extensive experience of HR and other regulatory compliance issues to the Board. 

David is also our Designated Premises Supervisor and Licensee.  He is a keen photographer and enjoys gardening and working with stained glass in his spare time.
Rachael Tapping
Rachael joined Kingshill Arts Centre as a trustee in 2021, bringing her wealth of knowledge in social media and digital communications to support the charity with their plans for the future. 
 
With a love of art, design and science Rachael is keen to share her skills to help create a vibrant community asset for Dursley and the surrounding area, especially for young people and families.
Chris Rose

Chris Rose spent much of his working life as a Freelance Architectural Photographer in and around The Cotswolds.

​Planning for retirement and a move to the Dursley area introduced him to Kingshill Arts & Meeting Centre where it soon became apparent that there was an opportunity to help in the development of the house, socialise in an arts-centric environment and pass on some photographic skills in the form of Kingshill PHOTOGROUP. 
Chris Darlaston

The longest serving Trustee, Chris joined the house in the late 1990s. Initially involved with the local dramatic society (DODS) who refurbished the house once it was handed back from Stroud District Council, she has undertaken various roles relating to the arts programmes and developing social activities.

​Chris believes passionately in the mission of Kingshill House and the contribution it makes to Dursley and the surrounding area.
