What is The Propertymark Trust?
Originally a benevolent fund, founded to support members who had fallen on hard times, the Trust achieved charitable status in 2015 and since then it has grown and widened its remit and support to members in a variety of ways.
The Trust exists to provide confidential support where it is needed most, typically in times of hardship which could be due to mental or physical illness, financial hardship and can also allocate educational grants where assistance is needed to help members become better qualified.
The new Trustees
Sarka Wilde has over 25 years in residential sales, lettings and agency leadership and holds a Masters degree in coaching and mentorship. Sarka is the Propertymark NAEA Regional Executive for Berkshire and Oxfordshire. She is also a force of nature with an incredible record of charity fundraising to her name.
James Dolan also has over 25 years in the property industry and has been actively involved in estate agency apprenticeship programmes, supporting pathways that help people enter and build successful careers within the industry.
Kim Lidbury is the current President Elect of Propertymark ARLA. She continues the coincidental theme of having 25 years of experience in the property industry.
Nicol Nightingale has 18 years of experience including leadership roles in the property industry. Nicol is also a School Governor and a voluntary Director for the Soft Touch Arts charity.

Existing Trustees, Michael Day, Megan Eighteen, John Oakley, Taj Gill, Angharad Trueman, and David Mintz continue in their roles.
We are delighted to welcome Natalie, Nicol, Kim, James and Sarka to the board of Trustees and are certain that they will all contribute significantly to building on the work we have already done and have planned for the months and years ahead.
The Propertymark Trust
The charitable arm of Propertymark is set up to help members, their families and our staff as well as supporting other charities through our fundraising activity. Run by Independent Trustees, the trust operates in confidentiality to provide support in two principle areas: qualification grants and financial assistance for members who have suffered from a physical or mental illness.
