Our Trustees

Pauline is a mum, a carer and has lots of experience as a manager in many third sector and disability organisations. She has lived in Cardiff for 50 years, and is therefore particularly interested in volunteering to help the people who live near her. Pauline loves to have a cup of tea and a chat with people about what is important to them.

Deb has a strong background in HR and has been a trustee of mirus for several years. Fairness and equality are very important to her and for the people we support, and she enjoys seeing people grow and develop.

Bernard had an illustrious career in Finance and was appointed as a local magistrate. Bernard believes in fairness and equality and enjoys being a mirus trustee now that he is retired so he can see the impact the work we do has on people’s lives. 

Roz is a former social worker and now retired, with a great passion for ensuring people we support live happy and fulfilled lives. Roz particularly loves to engage with the people we support and see the direct impact our person centred approach has. Roz is also a big advocate for staff and volunteers, and feels it is important their value and commitment is recognised as part of the work we do. 

Before retiring, Nick had a successful career in Retail and Property Management, but has always felt that he wanted to volunteer to make a difference to people’s lives. Nick’s father, wife, and daughters all work in careers that allow them to give back to the community, and Nick has always felt that he wasn’t – until he joined mirus as a Board member!

Karen joined the Board of Trustees in December 2020 and has recently been appointed as Treasurer. Karen is a highly experienced CIPFA qualified accountant with current responsibilities as an Operations Business Manager. 

Helen is a HR professional who loves to be positive. It is important to Helen to effect positive change and make a difference to others. Helping and supporting others on many levels gives her a great satisfaction. 

Before retiring, Jeremy worked for many years in Banking. Jeremy has a daughter with learning difficulties, and felt that volunteering with mirus would give him a platform to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. 

Ben is a journalist for BBC Wales with a passion for helping people and ensuring their voices are heard. He wants to make a difference in people’s lives and he feels that volunteering with mirus gives him the perfect opportunity to do this.

Dylan has a background in finance, and joined the Board of Trustees to give back to his community. Dylan is passionate about making a difference in people’s lives and believes that volunteering for mirus will give him a strong sense of purpose.
