Carol Bradford is Company Secretary and Trustee. She is responsible for ensuring all legal documents pertaining to the Foundation are completed and submitted in a timely fashion and assisting with fundraising.

She has spent her career working in an administrative capacity within the NHS.  Her roles have included Personal Secretary and Practice Manager in General Practice.  She has some experience of organising meetings of various sizes.  Prior to retirement in 2014 Carol worked as Assistant to Professor Friend with whom she worked for 14 years. 

Deborah Hoult is Chairman, Trustee and Committee Member. She is responsible under law, with the other Trustees, for the running of the Oxford Transplant Foundation. She chairs the Board meetings and represents the Charity in its dealings with other organisations.

Deborah says that she is  ‘paying back’ for the successful kidney transplant her husband had in 2009 as well as for the support from the Living Donor scheme which enabled her to donate one of her kidneys to him.

She is a scientist who spent nearly 35 years working in Atomic Spectroscopy. She is no longer employed but has found so many activities that engage her, she finds it is difficult to imagine how she once had time for fulltime employment.

Elizabeth Howarth has been a Committee member for a number of years and is in fact the longest standing member of the Oxford Transplant Foundation. 

Liz keeps a log of all our fundraisers and organisers the patient seminar/lunch each year.

Liz is a grateful patient, having received a transplant in 1990 and then in 2003. She had to leave her job in 2000 when she went on to haemodialysis.
