Robin Tatam

Robin is a Fellowship Councillor for South West.

Robin’s personal mission is to improve the standard of professionalism and general quality of Third sector governance. His various Chair roles have included Barbican Theatre, Creative Culture SW, Museum of Bath Stone, Emmaus Cornwall, Indra, and Ford Park Cemetery as a trustee. He is now a very active director of Micronomy Ltd – developing embryo enterprise, facilitating transitions. Robin is passionate about performing arts, but also strongly a man of the sea. He is fixed on forever battling unfairness and injustice – his role model is, of course, Don Quixote.

Robin’s abiding inspiration is the RSA’s origin of that enlightenment through coffeehouse informal gatherings over 250 years ago – effectively and successfully resurrected and re-run over twenty years ago, by the driving force of the Coffee House Challenge, a local issue initiative, embracing five broad themes. Much has changed but the wide erudite outreach remain’s Robin’s priority – the grass roots potential and Fellowship energy, waiting to be tapped into; the key is finding the right engagement trigger.
