The Military Wives Choirs is pleased to announce that Anne-Marie Trevelyan has joined the Board of Trustees.

Anne-Marie is a chartered accountant with 20 years business experience after training with Price Waterhouse.  She was MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed (2015-2024), and government minister (2018-2024), serving four Prime Ministers as Secretary of State for International Development, International Trade, Transport; and as minister for defence procurement, energy & clean growth, and foreign affairs in the Indo-Pacific.

Anne-Marie led efforts in Parliament from 2015 to make the Armed Forces Covenant real, and get greater practical delivery on issues from spouse work challenges, to education places for military children, and healthcare and housing for military families.

She is passionate about music and sang with other MPs to raise money for charities supporting children injured by war.

Anne-Marie now works with defence industry and academia to strengthen UK resilience and preparedness in the difficult geopolitical world at present.

Anne-Marie is excited to be joining Military Wives Choirs as a Trustee and wants to bring her experience to support our amazing women and enjoy the music with them.

Caroline Paxton, Chair of Trustees, The Military Wives Choirs, 'We are very pleased to have Anne-Marie joining the Board.  She brings a wealth of understanding of the MOD and military environment which will be invaluable as we grow and develop our choral network through our second decade.'
