New Members Appointed to Cambridge Community Arts’ Board of Trustees
We are delighted to welcome Kate Collins and Tony Rosella to the CCA Board of Trustees.
CCA’s Vision is of healthier communities empowered by their own creativity. Our Mission is to support personal growth and improved health through quality arts activities. Our Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall financial and strategic management of the charity. Each of our Trustees brings valuable experiences and skills to CCA in order to achieve our Mission.
Kate Collins
Kate’s professional expertise is in the environmental sector, but she’s enjoyed an intensive involvement in Cambridge charities and community projects over the past 8 years.
She is also a trustee of Lifecraft and founded Love Mill Road, a charity which provides small grants to projects that reduce inequality, enhance the environment and support arts and culture within the Mill Road neighbourhood. Kate has been Chair of the Mill Road Winter Fair for 4 years (until 2023) and currently leads the organisation of the Mill Road Fringe programme of events. She’s particularly motivated by creative strategy and partnership building and enjoys making stuff happen via the process of meetings, networking, and committees.
Kate spends most of her spare time on charity and community projects! Other favourite activities include gardening, watercolour painting, walking and travel.
