OUR TRUSTEES

Our Trustees


Andy Levy - Chairman

I graduated in physics in 1977 and initially worked at the Royal Free Hospital in the physics department, after which I trained as an accountant. After working for various enterprises and professional practices I set up Levy & Co in 1989, specialising in business development (the office next to Cavendish House), which I eventually sold in 2008.

I have lived in Lingfield for more than 30 years during which time I was a governor of the local primary school for a number of years. I currently help as a volunteer at the St Peter’s & St James’s Hospice in North Chailey, and have done so for the past three years.

Carolyn Meakings 

Having graduated with a degree in Psychology from Queens University in Belfast, in 2009 I moved from my home in Northern Ireland to work at Young Epilepsy in Lingfield to pursue a career in care. I began my career as a support worker and have progressed through the organisation, and various levels of management, to the position I now hold, which is as Operations Manager for Adult Residential Services. I have the responsibility of overseeing the running of 12 residential houses and it is a role which I enjoy immensely. 

I am a member of a running club, and participate in their events regularly. I also enjoy going to the cinema, taking part in crafting activities and spending time with my cats. 

I became a Trustee for Cavendish House Trust in March 2019.

Gavin Meakings          

I am employed as the Project and Information Manager for a FTSE 250 motor insurer based in Surrey where I have worked since 2002. My role has a strong focus on project development, government legislation, information security and auditing, as a result of which, I also run the Claims Departments internal audit team.

My family has a strong Charity background, specifically in homelessness and social care, and I wanted to continue this work which led me to the Cavendish House Trust, joining as a trustee in March 2019.

As well as having an interest in music, cinema and reading. I am also a keen runner, being a founding member of the 100 Half Marathon Club UK, and will be attempting my first running based Guinness World Record attempt in 2020.
