Introducing Cathy and Peter – our new Trustees!

We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our fantastic new trustees – Cathy Beddows and Peter Wilmot!

Cathy is a retired primary school headteacher.  She grew up in the Lake District and has always had a passion for the outdoors. She is an enthusiastic traveller with an adventurous nature and enjoys trips abroad. After being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, Cathy began using a scooter to get around outdoors. More recently, she has discovered Trampers and the opportunities they provide. She is eager to help Outdoor Mobility to broaden these opportunities so that more people can enjoy access to the countryside.

Peter’s job sees him supporting organisations to solve complex problems, transforming and modernising how they operate. Outside of work, he loves being outdoors, cycling and hiking. His wife is a wheelchair user, and accessing the Trampers has been ‘genuinely life-changing’ for them both - opening up outdoor experiences that would otherwise have been off-limits. Peter is particularly interested in supporting the charity’s growth and is excited to support Outdoor Mobility’s mission - to help shape a future where everyone can experience the freedom and joy of amazing outdoor places.

A huge thank you to Cathy and Peter for their time, commitment and dedication to the organisation. The work of our trustees is integral to the success of Outdoor Mobility and we’re delighted to have Cathy and Peter onboard!
