Our Team
Founder & Trustee
Diane Bowman
I live in a quiet Suffolk village on the East Coast, married to my husband David. We have four rescue dogs from the UK and Romania. After seeing the conditions in which dogs in Romanian Shelters are kept and how little they are cared for, I felt compelled to try to change things for these dogs.
Trustee & Treasurer
Scott Beaton
I live in Scotland. My day job is with UK’s electricity transmission network. By night, I try to help dogs in Romania. It's hard to accept that in this day and age, animal suffering is acceptable in some countries and ignored in others. We can't change the world, but we can change it for these dogs.
Trustee
Lavinia Harrison
I was born in Romania but I now live in a small village in the Lincolnshire area. As a child, seeing the stray dogs in Romania I think it’s disgusting how the Romanian government deals with the issue of stray and shelter dogs and I am grateful that charities such as Annie’s Trust get involved to help the dogs.
Trustee
Jade Elizabeth
I’m family oriented, creative and a massive animal lover!. Since having my son, I've wanted to set a good example by helping charities and teaching him to be kind to all living things. Annie;s Trust is so important - I wanted to help the team make the lives of dogs in Romania more bearable. They all need a voice to speak up for them!
Trustee
Helena Majkowski
After learning about the plight of Romanian dogs via Annie's Facebook page, I was simply horrified and immediately asked "how can I help".
Annie's is the only UK charity to work so closley with a Romanian shelter and together, we can really make an impact. The dogs in the shelter and on the streets are no different to the dogs in our homes.
