Sam Weller CCF Trustee

Sam was introduced to CCF when he was Director of the Kodak European Research Laboratories in Cambridge and set up a Kodak Fund with CCF which was used to make grants to a number of local charitable groups in key areas of interest to the Company. When Sam retired, he and his wife decided to remain in Cambridge and he has utilised his past experience to help the local business and charitable communities. He kept in touch with CCF particularly and was invited by the board to join CCF and to take an active role in developing the grant making strategy of the Foundation.

"I hope, by writing a blog, to draw attention to the great work done by local charities across a spectrum of society, often with very small resources. Also, to show how a Community Foundation, like Cambridgeshire’s, can encourage individuals and organisations, to make charitable donations that reach those most in need."
