Deborah Hoult is Chairman, Trustee and Committee Member. She is responsible under law, with the other Trustees, for the running of the Oxford Transplant Foundation. She chairs the Board meetings and represents the Charity in its dealings with other organisations.

Deborah says that she is  ‘paying back’ for the successful kidney transplant her husband had in 2009 as well as for the support from the Living Donor scheme which enabled her to donate one of her kidneys to him.

She is a scientist who spent nearly 35 years working in Atomic Spectroscopy. She is no longer employed but has found so many activities that engage her, she finds it is difficult to imagine how she once had time for fulltime employment.
