Tracey Brennan - Chair

Tracey is currently employed by NHS England, East of England, Learning Disability & Autism Programme as Senior Manager for LeDeR and Health Inequalities. She has supported people with a learning disability and autistic people (who often also have mental ill-health) for over 30 years and has worked in health and social care settings, both managing and commissioning services. Tracey is extremely passionate about reducing the impact of health inequalities and developing partnership and collaborative approaches, alongside ensuring the voice of people with lived experience is included in creating change.

Whilst Tracey claims to not be particularly musical, she firmly believes that music can have a significant impact on a persons’ health and wellbeing. As a commissioner, Tracey witnessed first-hand the benefits that Music24 brought to the lives of the people they were working with and indeed found their passion infectious. Tracey is excited to join the Board of Trustees and hopes to make a valuable contribution in supporting the organisation to continue to thrive.

Kevin, a successful and experienced executive in the London Insurance market, who is now semi-retired, brings extensive expertise to his roles as a non-executive director on the boards of Managing Agency Partners, a Lloyd’s syndicate, and Pool Re, the Government-backed terrorism reinsurance company. Alongside his professional achievements, Kevin is a passionate musician who has always been captivated by the emotive power of music. When seeking a rewarding volunteer opportunity, he felt drawn to explore charities involving music.

Kevin began his volunteer journey with Music24, supporting the Stevenage Dementia group and the Welwyn Garden City Singing Café. Immersed in these experiences, he discovered the immense joy and fulfilment of using music to enrich the lives of others. Recognising the intersection of his business acumen and passion for music, Kevin saw an opportunity to contribute further by joining Music24’s board of trustees. His appointment in April 2024 reflects his commitment to leveraging his diverse skill set to drive positive change within the organisation and the communities it serves.
