The Trustees ensure the Charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit and also act in the Charity’s best interests - they have a legal duty to act with reasonable care and skill. The five Trustees listed below all sit on the Board and make decisions on all applications for Grant Funding.
Stella Baxter - Secretary
"My love of dogs began as a child in 1966 with a English Setter called Silver, as a teenager became a kennel maid in a Top Pyrenean Mountain Dog Kennel (Lisblanc). A chance meeting with Newfoundlands began in 1998 and we have been owned by this multipurpose beautiful breed ever since.
I bring to the Charity my passionate love of dogs and my business skills (Owner manager for 17 years) with a clear understanding of processes and procedures in which to serve the breed and the public to prevent hardship to both."
John Evans
"My name is John Evans, I am a retired Managing Director/Owner of a white goods company.
I have owned dogs since early childhood as a boy with German Shepherds and later in life Old English Sheepdogs. In 1982 I had my first Newfoundland 'Crawford' and so the slippery road began. I have owned, showed, judged, and bred two litters over the past 40 years.
I am passionate and totally committed to this wonderful gentle breed. Their health, wellbeing and future is of the utmost importance to me."
Tracey Jasper
"My name is Tracey Jasper and I fell in love with Newfoundlands in 1997 and after much research and seeking lots of advice gained a black furry bundle in 2000, I have had the pleasure of being owned by nine Newfoundlands and become emotionally attached to more than I can count.
To ensure these beautiful dogs have the best of everything regardless of circumstance is something we will work hard to achieve as a group. Putting resources where they can do the most good for this fabulous breed.
I have spent much of my working life ensuring optimum and equal care to all humans young and old and in between. I am looking forward to replicating that with Newfies."
Rose Evans
"Dogs have been in my life from a very early age ranging from Spaniels, Chows, Labradors and finally in 1982 Newfoundlands. This majestic gentle loving breed came into my life and together with my husband we have had a total of six Newfoundlands over the years and bred two litters.
My passion is the health and well-being of this beloved breed making sure that they are being looked after and cared for in the manner they deserve."
