A rewarding way to give something back to the community.

“I was looking for a meaningful and rewarding way to give back to the community. As a Manager in the NHS, I was looking to support a charity that I could identify with, contribute to professionally and make a positive difference to the lives of people with profound disabilities who we care for. I have a busy life with a young family, but giving a little of my free time, joining the Board of Trustees and meeting quarterly has really been fulfilling and very enjoyable.”

Benetta Adamson

Trustee

Benetta comes to the Bevern Trust having enjoyed a career working on television documentaries, many of which explored disability and exclusion from society. Among those were a film for BBC which followed three people affected by Thalidomide as they reached 40, and traced the changes in attitudes to disability since the war. However it was experiencing life in a children’s hospice for BBC1, where the philosophy is that life must be lived to the full whatever the challenges, which inspired her connection to the Bevern Trust. She hopes that her backaground will help to reinforce the Trust’s message that everyone should have the opportunity to live life in abundance.
