Meet Our Board

BETH ROUSE

Chair

Beth Rouse has been a member of the Trust Board since its beginnings in 2002. She no longer lives ‘over the back fence’ from Avebury House, as she and her husband Ken did before being ‘redzoned’, but her connections to the area remain strong. Her day job sees her teaching high school mathematics.

HAYLEY GUGLIETTA

Treasurer

Hayley Guglietta is a keen gardener and has lived and worked in the the Richmond area for over 20 years. She runs her own successful business, holds an MBA from the University of Canterbury. Hayley volunteers for Alzheimers Canterbury and The Richmond Community Garden.  Along with gardening her passions are strategic/financial planning, permaculture, chicken husbandry, bee keeping and any kind of sport.

ANDREA GRIEVE

Secretary

Living in the Avonside/Richmond area ended for her when she became an earthquake refugee, but in late 2017 she is relocating back.  She has missed the unique neighbourhood, the people and the river.
Her association with Avebury House goes back to the beginning and she is proud to be on the Trust Board and to help ensure the ‘old girl’ survives to serve the Richmond community.
