Our charity is run by a Board of Trustees, who are responsible for ensuring that we comply with the Charity Commission guidelines as regards financial probity and public benefit. We are lucky to have such an experienced Board, – but are always keen to hear from others who would like to help children experience the power of music. If you have any experience in accounting, marketing, fundraising or just love music and want to see children from all backgrounds thrive then please get in touch with our Chair, Nick here
Nick Bush – Chair of the Board of Trustees
Nick is a management consultant who works with both public and private sector organisations to improve their performance and strategies, with a focus on providing brilliant experiences for their customers. He is passionate about music and is a keen but decidedly amateur guitarist, singer and occasional composer. Nick believes music has a vital role in stimulating children’s development and helping them to become more rounded and confident people. He is also a trustee at Manchester Collective and between 2018 and 2025 was a trustee at music education charity, World Heart Beat, where he helped them set up their performance and education centre in Nine Elms.
Paul Broadhurst – Trustee
Paul manages the 24 Hour London initiative for the Greater London Authority. He is involved with the Mayor’s Music Fund which supports children who cannot afford music lessons. Paul previously set up the Mayor’s young buskers competition. He worked at the London Symphony Orchestra where a highlight was young East London musicians performing in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Paul plays the violin and the piano.
Ashley Roye – Trustee
Ashley is the Schools Manager at Music Masters, a charity working to ensure that every child has access to the transformative power of music. Prior to that, Ashley worked as the Music Manager at Gallions Primary School and is very keen to ensure the music programme continues. He studied Performing Arts Music at The Brit School before going on to complete a degree in Commercial Music at Westminster College. Ashley has experience working in events, fundraising and developing emerging musicians. Over the years he has worked with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Michael Kiwanuka, Shakka, and Jamie Woon.
Natasha Broke – Trustee and Honorary Treasurer
Natasha came across Gallions Primary School when her son did a week’s work experience there. She visited the school and observed a musicianship session and strings lessons. The quality of the music impressed her. The relationship between her son’s school and Gallions culminated in a fundraising concert. To say that the Gallions pupils held their own at one of the most prestigious private (senior) schools in the country would be to undersell their performance. They absolutely rose to the occasion. Natasha was invited to join the Trustees in June 2016. She passionately believes that children from all backgrounds should be offered a wide and varied curriculum.
Georgie Thorogood – Trustee
Georgie is a marketing and communications professional with a deep-rooted passion for music and the arts. Her career has spanned live music, festivals, and creative events, where she has built expertise in audience engagement, strategic communications, and brand development for music-focused projects.
Alongside her work in the music industry, Georgie is the Marketing and Communications Lead at The British Racing School, a charity dedicated to developing young talent and promoting opportunity within the horseracing industry. She brings her experience in charitable communications, partnership building, and storytelling to her role as a Trustee of Gallions Music Trust.
Georgie is committed to using the power of music, sport and horses to inspire, engage, and motivate young people, as well as strengthening community.
