Our Trustees 

Heather Walker
My professional career has been as a NZ Registered Nurse. Voluntary work is also a very important part of my life. Over the years I have enjoyed being actively involved in a variety of community organisations. 
My main sporting interest is basketball but I have been a volunteer coach, referee, and administrator in a variety of sports codes for many years.
The development of the Fulton Hogan Basketball League has realised a long term goal. The League reflects the belief that it is the right of all children & adults to be included in sport and valued members of their community. The ongoing success of the League & the consequent development of the Trust and new sports programmes has been made possible by an amazing team of people - the participants, volunteers, supporters, community organisations, and sponsors. The successes and achievements of the participants provides inspiration to continue on the inclusive pathway.

Justin Bowne
Justin joined the Board in 2014 as a parent Trustee / Treasurer.  His professional background is in business and finance.
"Sport is an integral part of life in New Zealand and so it is important that all children are given the opportunity to participate.  Kicking a ball or swinging a bat is fun whoever you are, regardless of ability or aptitude.  And the Trust uniquely offers a path to sport for all children, benefiting fitness, motor skills, social skills and above all inclusive fun!"  

 Ash Crossland
I am a passionate sportsman, just ask my wife. As a 52 year old I am still active, playing football for Mapua in the Nelson Bays League. In the past I have played Rugby, League and Union, and am a qualified rugby youth coach. 
Sport is all round us in society and I believe that no-one should be denied the opportunity to participate, enjoy and succeed. This is why I joined the Trust Board. With considerable general management experience in health and education, I will hopefully be able to contribute in a positive way to help develop a sustainable platform for the Trusts activities into the future.
