Former British High Commissioner to The Gambia, Mr Phil Sinkinson, OBE
Many of you will know of Phil Sinkinson. In his former role as British High Commissioner to The Gambia, he assisted the charity greatly. Indeed, at every turn whilst in that role, I could count on his calm and assured nature and good judgement to help me deal with the complex issues that often cropped up. He was a wonderful representative of the British government; and I am sure now he is retired, he will be an equally wonderful patron!

The best selling International author Simon Scarrow.
Simon has been a long-term supporter and donor to the BHA and I am absolutely thrilled that he has agreed to be our Patron. For many of you I am sure you will have read one of his hugely popular books from the Eagle series of historical war novels, view his books here.
