Treasurer – Morien Morgan

Morien is a recently retired headteacher who Richard thought was at risk of becoming bored. It was at the AGM that he first met members. Morien says, “I was given a very warm welcome and was elected to the board. I was keen to get to know everyone and to see how ACT worked but, shortly after my first visit, Covid struck. Nevertheless,during the pandemic, we have met regularly and I have learned a lot.” Morien is committed to help the charity grow, adapt and thrive. He says, “However difficult the situation seemed, Richard has never lost the determination to see ACT survive and succeed and I am proud to have been able to lend a hand.”
