Rushen Heritage Trust has announced a new Chair.
Doreen Moule will take over the role from Hugh Davidson MBE.
She has been involved with the Trust since its inception in 2014 and leads its World War II Women’s Internment team.
Doreen said: ‘I am looking forward to my time as Chair of RHT and the many events planned for the coming year, particularly the opening of the Tree Arçhyn Heritage Centre. This is an exciting new venture for the Trust and its important role in the community. As ever, we are seeking to share our research with local people and visitors alike and we look forward to welcoming you all to Tree Arçhyn.’
Born in Wolverhampton, Doreen grew up in the Black Country and trained as a teacher in Birmingham, where she taught in a primary school from 1970 to 1999. In 1999, she moved to the Isle of Man to take up a teaching post, retiring in 2008.
She has lived in Rushen since 2004 and still retains a keen interest in education, being the Trust’s Schools Liaison Officer.
