Andrew Glover has become the new Chair of Caring Together Charity’s Board of Trustees following the retirement of Stuart Evans.
At today’s board meeting, Stuart stood down at the end of his maximum nine-year term having played a central role in shaping the charity’s development, growth and resilience since taking the reins at a time of transition in 2017.
Milestones during his tenure include appointing Miriam Martin as chief executive, the rebrand from Carers Trust Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk to Caring Together, moves to new offices, and helping steer the charity through dealing with the Covid pandemic, as well as digital transformation.
Stuart said: “I shall miss it, but it’s amazing to realise it’s been nine years. It doesn’t feel as if it’s been that long, but it’s nice to reflect on how the charity has changed in that time.
“I think Andrew is going to be terrific as Chair. I’m confident the charity is well positioned for the future under new leadership with a refreshed strategy, strong governance and a continued commitment to support carers.”
Andrew, who joined the Board of Trustees in March 2026, is an experienced business leader, having founded and run several IT and telecommunications businesses.
He has charity experience from being churchwarden and treasurer at various Cambridge churches, as well as being Chair of Faith in Business.
Alongside his wife, Andrew also has experience of being a carer, having helped look after his mother-in-law, who had Alzheimer’s, as well as caring for his own mother more recently.
Andrew said: “Caring Together is a meaningful charity with a very valid purpose, which is why I wanted to get involved.
“The charity is in really good shape and that’s largely because of Stuart and Miriam’s leadership. I’m looking forward to helping Caring Together build on these strong foundations as it strives to reach and support even more unpaid carers.”
Caring Together Charity chief executive Miriam Martin said: “We know Stuart will remain a firm friend of the charity and we wish him and his family well for the future.
“We are delighted to welcome Andrew Glover as Stuart’s successor. We look forward to working with him over the coming years.”
