Erosh is delighted to announce the appointment of Ainsley Forbes MBE as Chair of our Board of Trustees.
Ainsley considers himself fortunate to have had the opportunity to support people as a social worker, and subsequently assistant director of social services for children and families for an inner London Council. He has sat on the board for various associations and committees, several times as the Chair and was awarded an MBE in recognition of his services to social housing across London. He has always had a commitment to promoting equality of opportunity as he believes in maximizing the potential of everyone.
Over the span of Ainsley’s career he has learned a huge amount about the importance of a stable home and the direct impact that it has on improving life chances both economically and socially, which is the primary reason that he is so committed to the sector.
As Ainsley comes towards the latter part of his life, he feels it is fitting to apply his knowledge and experience to help improve the standard of living in residential provision for the older generation. He looks forward to this new challenge and to creating opportunities for change and improvement within this sector as a Trustee of erosh.
On being appointed as Chair of Trustees at erosh Ainsley said, “I am excited to work with the team at erosh to support them on their next stages of development and growth. I’m passionate about everything that erosh stands for and it’s a genuine honour to chair their Board of Trustees.”
Steve Rafferty, Chief Executive of erosh said, ““I was overjoyed when Ainsley agreed to be our Chair of Trustees. His knowledge of social housing will bring a real strength to the board, I look forward to Ainsley’s contribution to helping drive erosh forward enabling us to support the highest standards within the independent living sector.”
