Trent Hiles

Treasurer

What started in 2011 as a desire to activate vacant space in Ōhinehou Lyttelton – his ‘quake-damaged hometown – led to Trent’s involvement with Gap Filler for the next four years, helping to activate a wide-range of community-building initiatives. Always up for a challenge, Trent’s approach was to say ‘yes’ then find a solution – the bigger the problem the better. Now retired from active service Trent has moved into a governance role, supporting the Gap Filler team to continue to realise its vision of co-creating meaningful experiences that strengthen community through shared decision-making and purposeful engagement.
