“I went to a junior school in Hong Kong that was sponsored by an Anglican church in Canada. I was always aware of the important contributions made by Christian missionaries in education and healthcare in Hong Kong. Serving CMS as a trustee is my way of putting something back for the benefits that I received at primary school in Hong Kong. I became an active member of our local church in Winchester over 30 years ago.” Beauman is married with a son and a daughter, both are at university.
