Batemans trustee Vinod Hallan has stepped down from his role after many years’ service.

We wish him the very best and owe him many thanks for his support over the years. One of his main roles was as a valuable adviser to our project team in Chennai who benefited from his extensive experience in education.

He has also raised thousands of pounds for Batemans, including a successful sponsored walk along the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, as shown in the picture above.

Becky Sewell, chair of trustees, said: “A massive thank you to Vinod for all he has done for Batemans. It’s great to know that all our staff (and the children they help) will continue to reap the benefits of his wisdom and insights.”
