Our Trustees

Mind in Haringey is governed by a board of volunteer trustees who all bring extensive knowledge and experience to the organisation. Our trustees ensure that we are working within our mission and values at all times and that the targets we set strive to achieve our vision.

Tom McCabe

Chair of Trustees

I am a management consultant by profession, and having retired in 2020, now balance part time work with other interests including playing guitar, and travel. My wife is a practising psychoanalyst and we live in Highgate – our adult children having left home.

I have been engaged with mental health causes for a long time, including previously as chair of Lambeth and Southwark Mind. I’m really excited to join Mind in Haringey as it’s local, and you offer such an impressive range and depth of services. I very much hope that as a board we can support you in strengthening and extending these still further.

Courtney Brown

Vice Chair of Trustees

Courtney Brown is the award-winning founder of Father2Father, a community interest company dedicated to providing specialist coaching and mentoring programs aimed at enhancing the resilience, health, and well-being of parents and young people. His work has earned him numerous accolades, both nationally and internationally, reflecting his growing reputation as a leader in his field.

Courtney is also the co-founder of the Future Boss flagship program, which empowers African and Caribbean heritage entrepreneurs and emerging talent aged 18-35 years by promoting economic empowerment and equitable opportunities.

He also leads the Super Dad program, which offers resources and support for fathers from all backgrounds, helping them to navigate the challenges of parenthood.

Furthermore, Courtney is the Vice Chair OPEN MINDS Alliance, where he is committed to ensuring that the African Caribbean Community receives the best culturally competent service within the mental health sector.

I’m proud to be a Black man because of the rich heritage, resilience, strength, and the power to inspire and uplift my community and future generations.

Simon Herbert

Treasurer

I’m a Haringey resident of over 15 years, living in Muswell Hill with my wife and two daughters.  Before I retired last year, my work involved leading large-scale change initiatives within financial services organisations and I now sit on two trustee boards and do some consulting work for charities.

I’ve experienced first-hand the impact that mental health can have on individuals and families, and so I’m excited to be part of the Mind in Haringey team and to do what I can to ensure that we are able to provide the support needed by anyone with mental health problems in the local area.

Anthony Magee

Secretary

I am 36 born in the midlands and have lived in London for 16 years. Based in Tower Hamlets I lived in Tottenham for many years and Enfield. Openly queer I am an active part of the LGBTQ+ community and involved in tackling issues that continue to affect our communities.

My day job in data, technology, experience strategy, behavioural science, performance marketing and consulting should help accelerate our growth and strike the right balance of services delivered assisted by technology.

Living with registered neurodiversities and an unseen physical disability myself, I hope to bring my lived experience of mental health and the plethora of issues as a multi-service user.

I look forward to meeting you all, sharing yours and national Mind’s determination to speak out and drive positive change across London.

I’m a civil servant working on mental health policy in the Department of Health and Social Care. I was a resident of Haringey for 8 years before moving 3 years ago to neighbouring Borough of Enfield, where I live with my partner and 2 young daughters.

I am passionate about improving mental health and particularly addressing longstanding inequalities in outcomes and experience. I am so excited to be a trustee for Mind in Haringey to learn more about the invaluable work of the local voluntary sector and to play a role in your ambition to provide positive support for people of all backgrounds and generations.

Hi there, my name is Ad and I am honoured to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees for Mind in Haringey. 

I live in Haringey and work as a GP in Enfield.

In both my personal and professional lives I have seen this amazing charity fill many gaps left by overstretched and underfunded NHS services, providing a lifeline to some of the most vulnerable people in our borough.

Faham Sinan-Katamba

Trustee

I am committed to promoting well-being and inclusion through my experience with sports, education, and community work.

My former players introduced me to Mind in Haringey and the amazing work you do. Rugby has been a cornerstone for me as a player and coach, using the sport as a tool for mental health and well-being.

It has been inspiring to witness the events you have hosted, the community involvement you have exhibited, and the positive impact you have made, and I am thrilled to be a part of this journey.
