The building blocks of trust Our Trust The history of the Trust Reflecting on our various milestones achieved since the formation of the Trust in 1986, it is easy to see how diverse and extensive Milestones Trust has become, where we now employ over 1,100 staff to support over 500 people in either a residential or community setting. The difference we have made to so many lives over the past three decades – the happiness, independence and quality of life of the people we support has been amazing.

Milestones Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that is managed by a Board of Trustees, who combine their knowledge and expertise to help guide decisions within the Trust. Our Exec Team are a group of expert individuals who are dedicated to ensuring that high standards of care are delivered to the people we support. See who they are below! Exec team Trustees Exec team Our Exec team oversees and directs Milestones Trust’s operations. The team is led by our Chief Executive who reports directly to the Board of Trustees. Hilary Crowhurst Chief Executive I joined Milestones Trust in March 2020. I have spent my entire career developing and providing services for people with disabilities. I have worked across the charitable and private sectors, most recently at Hft. I am committed to ensuring that services achieve the outcomes that reflect the needs of the people we support. I have an MA in the Applied Psychology of Developing services for people with Disabilities from the Tizard Centre University of Kent. I believe that Milestones has the quality, and positive attitude to continue to grow and develop great services for people across the South West and I am excited to be a part of that. Mike Beavis Director of Estates, Facilities and IT I joined Milestones Trust in July 2021. My career has been focused on estates, facilities and project management within defence, manufacturing and commercial environments. Prior to joining the Trust, I was responsible for a series of contracts which delivered support services to the RAF throughout the UK. I am professionally qualified, being a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building and a Member of the Chartered Management Institute. I bring a client-focused approach to operational delivery, with an emphasis on health, safety and the environment. I enjoy working collaboratively and am committed to ensuring the services we provide meet the Trust’s needs today and into the future. Geralyn Meehan Director of HR and Staff Development I joined Milestones Trust as Director of HR in 2016. Previously, I provided HR support for social and health care providers, in the not-for-profit, private and public sectors. In my last role at Smith & Williamson, I provided client-facing HR consultancy services. I bring a wide range of skills to my role and am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel in recognition of my work as an HR strategist. I also hold a postgraduate qualification in business strategy. Hilary Pearce Director of Finance I joined the Trust in November 2017, having spent the previous 17 years also in social care (learning disabilities) at Directorship level. I hold a professional accountancy qualification (ACCA) having qualified in practice over 25 years ago. I have worked in the not for profit sector since qualifying, with roles in further and higher education colleges and in a probation service, before social care. I enjoy this sector as the many challenges are countered by the strong values base. Seeing the positive impact on the people we support, that person centred and innovative services, delivered by passionate and committed staff can have, is extremely rewarding. I look forward to bringing my experience and knowledge to Milestones, and helping to shape the future direction of the Trust. Jeff Parry Director of Operations I have worked in the sector for over 30 years in many settings including schools, hospitals and respite services. I joined the Trust in 2000, as Deputy Manager at the newly opened Elysian Villas and subsequently have worked in many management roles within the organisation, championing initiatives as diverse as our arts programme Expressions, the Good Food campaign aimed at increasing the quality of food available in care settings, and encouraging political participation through our “Your Vote” events . I am a registered nurse (RNLD). I have spent much of my career supporting people with a learning disability and complex behaviours often resulting from underlying mental health concerns, and I was, for many years, a Positive Behavioural Support Trainer.
