The Cotesbach Educational Trust was established as a charity in 2008. It is the inspiration of a group of previously unconnected individuals who, having experienced the cultural richness and unique heritage of a cluster of dilapidated but historically significant buildings, decided to set about preserving them for the benefit of a broad and diverse community.  All of us are volunteers.

The Trustees are:

Jackie Strong (Chairman) – retired Director of Education (Leicestershire)

The Lord Willie Bach (Vice Chairman) – Lord Bach was a Minister in the Department of Justice until the last change of Government with a network of contacts across the political spectrum both locally and nationally.

Rachel Haynes – Head of Resources, Skillshare International

Jaqueline Krarup – ex Director for US Investment Bank and fundraiser; past Appeal Director for the Treehouse Trust; Associate Director, Development Office for Rugby School
