Our Trustees

Susan is a consultant physician in NHS Fife, specialising in healthcare of older adults. She is interested in initiatives which encourage healthy activity of all people at all ages given the huge physical and mental health benefits this provides. She grew up watching cricket on television and at Old Trafford, and is keen on watching almost all sports. A hockey player when younger, and now ardent hillwalker, a more personal interest in cricket as a sport for women and girls has grown from being a parent of two female international cricketers.

David is an accountant with over 20 years experience in sport, currently working part-time as Interim Head of Finance for Scottish Gymnastics. He also worked for Scottish Rugby and Cricket Scotland. When not working, he enjoys going away for long weekends and having the time to meet up with friends and family, whilst volunteering for this and another charity.

Darren is an experienced fundraising manager working for over 15 years at a range of local and national charities. His involvement with charities goes back further though with volunteer roles since University, predominantly supporting young people who for one reason or another do not have access to the same opportunities as their peers. He has also previously held board positions at Edinburgh Police Fund for Children, FABB and Befrienders Network Scotland.

Though he could never be considered a sportsman he has been an avid cricket fan since his grandad introduced him to the sport as a young boy, even remembering the days when you could watch the sport live on terrestrial TV!

George has been Head of the Junior School at George Watson’s College since 2016 and in education for 30 years.
With 146 caps for Scotland between 1990 and 2001, his highlight was captaining the team at the 1999 World Cup. He is the current Chair of Selectors.
After family, work and cricket, George’s other sporting passion is running with 52 (and counting!) marathons completed.
Given the opportunities that cricket afforded him from an early age in Arbroath, George is delighted to be involved with a charity that looks to make the sport accessible for all.

Rajani Tyagi is a doctor by profession working in NHS GG&C. Her work portfolio includes women’s health among other groups of population. Her day job made her believe that physical activity is the key to physical and mental wellbeing, particularly women who may be socially isolated. She then joined a charity and started women only sports clubs in the city, ensuring that they were inclusive and culturally sensitive.

The women’s cricket club has taken part in the Wee BASH tournament held by Beyond Boundaries. The club won the “Diversity club of the year 2022” award by the Sports Council of Glasgow.

She is a Badminton Scotland trained coach and runs women only badminton clubs across the city. For this voluntary work she was recognized by SportScotland in 2022 as the “ Community Club Coach of the year “in their COV awards.

Last but not least she is a radio DJ with a community radio station and her sports show has won the Gold award for ‘The sports show of the year’ in 2021 at the Community Radio Awards UK .

Her mantra C-1-2-B-1

As someone who continues to play national league cricket, Andrew has taken a lot from team sports throughout his life. Andrew is therefore delighted to be involved with a charity whose core focus is to create opportunities for everyone to participate in and enjoy sport.
