Kenward Trust is delighted to welcome Toby Winson as the newest member of our Board of Trustees. 

Toby’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. At just 25 years old, he faced alcoholic liver disease and believed he had lost all hope for the future. After two life-changing stays at Kenward Trust, he embraced recovery and has now been alcohol-free for nine years. 

Since then, Toby has gone on to build a successful career as News Editor at ITV News Meridian, while also becoming a respected recovery blogger, public speaker, and award-winning journalist. His accolades include Breaking into News 2019 and ITV News’ Newcomer of the Year 2022. He has also presented documentaries for ITV’s current affairs programme Tonight, tackling issues such as the rise in harmful drinking during the Covid pandemic. 

Toby has also volunteered to play a vital role in delivering our Think Differently programme in schools alongside Andy Watson and Kim Webster, sharing his lived experience to encourage young people to pause, reflect, and make safer choices.
