Building a Stronger Online Presence: A Message from Our Trustees.

We’re excited to share an important update about the work going on behind the scenes to enhance how we present ourselves to the world.

Over the past few months, our trustees — particularly Inga Wells and Alan Horn — have been working closely with our website designer on a full refresh of our online presence. This collaborative effort has been driven by a shared vision: to create a professional, accessible, and engaging website that reflects our core objectives and the values that guide our work.

Inga and Alan have brought not only their leadership but also a deep understanding of what our organisation stands for. From refining the tone and structure of our content to ensuring the visual design aligns with our ethos, they have helped steer this project with clarity and purpose. Every design choice and feature has been considered with our community, sponsors, and partner organisations in mind.

The new website is more than just a digital update — it’s a reflection of who we are and the impact we aim to make. It will provide clearer information, easier navigation, and a more cohesive look that reinforces our identity and commitment to our mission.

We can’t wait to share the final result with you. Stay tuned — the new site will be launching soon!

Thank you to Inga, Alan, and our web design team for your dedication and thoughtful collaboration on this important project.

After retiring from a career in business that included living and working overseas in Italy and USA, he concentrated on documentary photography which led to a two-week exhibition in Norwich highlighting the plight of the Happisburgh village community in Norfolk as it succumbs to the North Sea. The exhibition is now on permanent display in the village and the work has also been featured in Les Echos, a Parisien newspaper. Alan now concentrates on helping BedsGOVET to build its reputation as a force to improve the quality of the water in the River Great Ouse Qualifications: BSc BA (Hons) MBA ARPS
