Life Ambassadors
Trevor Fasham
Joining the Board at inception in 1989, Trevor has been instrumental in getting Kids Under Cover to where we are today. Trevor is a qualified Accountant and Managing Director of Fasham-Johnson Pty Ltd, a company which was established in 1972 as a builder of contemporary houses in the greater Melbourne and Metropolitan areas, as well as supplying kit houses to Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Trevor's company not only designed the Kids Under Cover 4-6 bedroom houses but also project managed the housing and bungalow programs for a number of years which was a considerable cost of resources to his own business. He has always been an outstanding supporter of the organization, including financing KUC in the early days until such a time as we were able to support ourselves. Trevor has pledged to donate 1-2 bungalows every year after his retirement from the Board.

George joined the Kids Under Cover Board in 1996. He is a Director of numerous companies, and was a consultant to the meat industry. For seven years he served on the national committee for the Variety Club of Australia has also been heavily involved with the Lions Club of Melbourne. George previously had an interest in The Point Restaurant at Albert Park Lake, the venue where the popular Grand Final Lunch, has been held every year since 1997. Without George's business connections and relationships with the AFL, this event would not have been possible or existed for that matter! Over the years, the event has raised close to $200k for Kids Under Cover. George has also been instrumental in introducing our Queensland operations to the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Indy, both of which are now proud partners. George's legacy will continue to live for many years to come.
