We are the family and friends of Mitchell and volunteer to continue his legacy…
Leanne Dower – Chair
My name is Leanne Dower and I am the chairperson of the Mitchell Powell Foundation. I have been involved since the start and am honoured to support the foundation in Mitch’s name. Mitchell did an enormous amount of fundraising and made a difference to so many people’s lives even with his own struggles. Our aim as a foundation is to continue the work that Mitchell carried out and to continue to make a difference in people’s lives.

Justin Parker – Secretary
I’m the secretary of Maltsters Sports Junior section. It’s through Maltsters Sports I got to know Mitch and we shared the Secretary role of the senior teams and set up the junior section with James Norman. We have around 100 kids playing every weekend, that’s thanks to Mitchell’s love of the club & coaching the kids. We became good mates and shared a love of football, cricket and having a pint. I’ve been on the Mitchell Powell Foundation board since it started and was honoured to be asked to be a part of this amazing Foundation so we can continue Mitchell’s fantastic charity work.
Caroline Powell – Board Member
Hello, I’m Caroline Powell, Mitchell’s mother. To be proud of your children is natural and I’m very proud of my three. To lose a child is not natural and for me and my family, it is the worst thing we’ve ever been through. After losing Mitch we realise how many different people he helped and this made us want to carry on his legacy. We started the Mitchell Powell Foundation and as sad as we are, I continue to be very proud of Mitch‘s legacy #OneProudMother
Kirsty Davies – Chief Fundraiser & Board Member
I’m Kirsty, Mitchell’s sister. We were always so very close growing up and I was like a second mother to him. We had a great relationship and he fought so very hard all his life with his health battles. From a very young age Mitchell was dedicated to always helping people, doing what he could, raising money, supporting others, the list is endless. Over the years he has raised thousands and thousands, I was always so very proud of him and I always will be. This is why we wanted to set up the foundation, to carry Mitchell’s legacy. Mitchell unfortunately isn’t here to do it himself any longer so we’ll do it for him. We’ll continue to help, donate and support as many people as we can and make sure Mitchell’s good faith will continue forever. Mitchell was one of a kind and I’ll never let that be forgotten.
