SCC Board of Trustees

The primary role of the trustees is to ensure that the charitable status of SCC is upheld and followed. This work includes all the legalities linked to policies and financial aspects of the organisation. Their role is also to fully support the music and management teams so that our weekly rehearsals and music projects are run smoothly and efficiently.

Sarah Longland - Chair of Trustees
Sarah is Business Manager to a consortium of local doctors, and is also heavily involved in South Derbyshire Music Centre, both in a managerial capacity and as a performer. She brings a host of people skills to the SCC team, and fully supports the work of the Music and Management teams. 

Janice Jones - Treasurer
Having taken several financial roles in other organisations, Janice is one of our trustees and is responsible for all the charity's finances and books. She also reports to the Management Team every half term.

Brian Thompson - Trustee
Brian is retired, and is also a former Chair Of Governors for a large secondary school. He brings a vast skill base to the board and also sings regularly with Dynamic Voices (SCC's adult choir) and the Social Singers. 

Sue Bailey - Safeguard Lead
Sue is Assistant headteacher at the Arthur Terry School and is heavily involved in local life, both through school and local organisations. Her expertise in safeguarding is of huge value to us at SCC.

Roger Rathbone - Trustee
Roger is a primary school head teacher, and was elected one of SCC's trustees in October 2017. He brings a host of ideas and experience to our organisation, including policy writing. He says he doesn't sing but we're working on that!
