Welcoming new Trustees joining the SHF Board

We are delighted to announce the arrival of new Trustees joining the Stuart Hall Foundation.

The Foundation recently welcomed Almir Koldzic and Sherry Peck to the Board of Trustees. We also welcome previous Associate Giorgia Doná who has now become a Trustee at the Foundation, continuing to support the development of our public programme and our Peer Network of scholars, fellows and artists.

Peter Greig and Farzana Khan recently stepped down from their positions as Trustees, and the Foundation is immeasurably grateful for their contributions.
