Festive Period Notice

On December 19th, the Foundation will hold a team away day, during which our team will be unavailable. Following this, resources will be limited as staff take seasonal leave, and the Foundation will be closed from December 24th to January 2nd for the festive period.

During this time, responses to phone calls and emails may be delayed. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

We wish you a joyful and safe holiday season.

Sarah Lafford

grants officer

I joined the Foundation in February 2022. As a Grants Officer, I assess applications for funding.

Before that I worked in development and fundraising for a specialist sexual violence service. I know the challenges that voluntary sector organisations are facing first-hand and will use this experience to support organisations through the grant application process. Previously, I worked in the arts, programming live music events and exhibitions.

I’m a trainee psychotherapist and host a regular radio show, showcasing experimental music.
