Dr Carol Homden, CBE and Ted Harthill at CCLC launch
Ted joined Coram as a Trustee in 2006 before being elected Chairman in 2008, and has served his entire term alongside Coram CEO Carol Homden CBE.
Carol said that Ted had made an enormous contribution in helping shape and support Coram’s vital work with vulnerable children:
“We are profoundly grateful to Ted for the leadership and dedication he has shown Coram.
“He has effectively steered us in matters of governance and advanced our cause at every opportunity, including widening the range of services for children through amalgamation of Coram Life Education, Coram Children’s Legal Centre and Coram Voice
“Ted has also been central to the redevelopment of the Coram Campus, a key priority which sees us transform our historic site so that it can be used for the greatest possible benefit to children.
“Ted leaves a remarkable legacy and we will be forever in his debt.”
Coram’s Vice Chairman, Paul Curran, former director of Children’s Services for Islington, will be leading the board for the coming period.
