Lee Mears Elected New Bath Rugby Foundation Trustee

As Bath Rugby Foundation celebrates their ten year anniversary; former Bath, England and British and Irish Lions hooker Lee Mears has joined the charity as a new Trustee.

The Jika Jika coffee chain owner will be responsible for Business Relationship Development and will also act as one of the charity’s ambassadors.  His appointment will be an integral part of the Foundation’s future with Lee, alongside the other appointed Trustees, having an input into the strategic direction of the Foundation moving forward as well as the current operation.

Lee Mears said, “I have been involved with Bath Rugby Foundation from the beginning, firstly as a player and now as a Trustee.   I have seen first-hand the amazing work they do with children and young people and I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to help on the ground over the years, coaching kids.  It was for that reason I wanted to get involved.

In addition, I have a keen interest in business and I’m really looking forward to learning some new things as a Trustee, while at the same time giving back to a charity I have been following for a long time.  And, if all else fails, I make a great cup of tea!”

Lee joins fellow Bath Rugby Foundation trustees Peter Wragg (Chairman), Tim Westbrook, Colin Marshall, Nick Blofeld, Chris Potter and Stuart Doughty.
