Terry Dickens

New Trustee for GIN

We are very pleased to announce that Terry Dickens has been appointed as a trustee of Greyhounds in Need.

Since the sad loss of Arthur Finch, we have felt the need for more help, particularly locally to headquarters and we are very grateful to Terry for accepting this position.

We could not have found a more ideal candidate to help us push forward our vital work for the galgos and greyhounds.  Terry lives in Egham and retired in 2005 from the important position of Head of Community Services of Runnymede Borough Council.  In this role, he had charge of all the local authority’s care services, completing a lifetime career in social services and ambulance work, only interrupted by service in the Welsh Guards.

Currently, Terry is a Director and Trustee of the Working Community Transport Company Ltd, which provides transport for people unable to use public transport because they are disabled, including children with special needs.

As well as this wealth of experience in the field of helping others, Terry brings to his trusteeship a deep love of animals, being a supporter of the PDSA, RSPCA and WSPA. 

We welcome Terry and thank him for offering to devote some of his time and experience to our work.
