BIOGRAPHY
Trevor Boanas brings warmth, civic pride, and genuine generosity to his role as a Companion Water Rat (Register No. 955). With a welcoming spirit and a belly‑laugh to match, he’s known fondly within the Order’s ranks as someone who lives by the Rats’ mantra—"a jolly lot of fellows"
A proud local businessman and community champion, Trevor has used his influence to support a wide range of charitable causes. Notably, he’s a committed trustee of the Daisy Appeal, which funds vital medical scanning equipment to detect cancer, heart disease, and dementia, raising critical resources for Hull and East Yorkshire. It was Trevor’s vision and generosity that helped bring the region’s celebrated "Mischief of Rats" sculpture trail to life, sponsoring ‘Pirats’ in Hull’s Theatre Square and contributing to a creative celebration that engages families while supporting medical research amischiefofrats.co.uk.

Whether at black-tie dinners or informal gatherings at the Water Rats Museum, his enthusiasm is contagious—and a reminder that the heart of the Order lies in shared joy and generosity
