Trustees

Lynn Robinson

Trustee

Lynn has recently retired after working for the NHS for over 35 years. She trained as a Nurse and then Social Worker. She has worked in Health Promotion, Public Health and wide ranging NHS management positions, latterly working on the COVID-19 vaccination programme. Lynn combined her paid work with extensive voluntary work, mainly volunteering with various health charities abroad and in the UK with the British Mountaineering Council (BMC). In 2018 she was elected as the first female President of the BMC. She is very much looking forward to being a Trustee volunteer with CAC, a charity she has supported for many years. Lynn regularly mountaineers, hill-walks and climbs, across the UK. She regularly indoor climbs, taking part in local bouldering competitions. On a wider scale she has mountaineered around the world, including Nepal, Ecuador, Egypt, Africa, Caucasus, North and South America and The Alps. Highlights include trad rock new routing and exploration in Sinai, big walling in Yosemite and completing both the Cuillin Ridge traverse and Lake District four 3,000’ peaks in under 24-hours.

Dominic Oughton

Trustee

Dominic Oughton has been climbing for around 40 years and lists El Cap, Gogarth and Hobson Moor Quarry amongst his favourite crags. He's been involved in fundraising for CAC for a number of years including a sponsored "Mile Climb" and a couple of charity calendars in association with the Rucksack Club (of which he is a member). He's also a Trustee of the BMC Access and Conservation Trust and a member of the NW Area Committee. You'll find more info on his blog www.rockaroundtheworld.co.uk

Sheila McCarron

Trustee

Scottish-born climbing mum/amateur photographer Sheila has lived in France most of her adult life, meeting CAC founder John Ellison at the World Championships in Paris in 2015. He enlisted her help to communicate with the French climbing community and she has acted as ambassador for CAC there ever since. As trustee, she hopes to ensure the international aspect of the charity is represented on the board.

Andy Dodd

Trustee

Andy is usually found in ultra - distance cycling events, but with an interest in many sports Andy manages to keep a finger hold on climbing. Living in a van he will often rock up at walls across the UK just to use the showers, but usually coinciding with competitions in order to raise money and awareness of CAC. The response from the climbing community over the past 5 years of volunteering has urged Andy to step up and commit more time, resource and support with the direction and future of Climbers Against Cancer.
