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.

Senior Manager – Programmes

I joined the Foundation team in July 2019, and currently lead the Foundation’s grant making as Senior Manager – Programmes. I have 17 years of experience in grant making having worked in the charity sector since leaving The University of Birmingham with a Master’s in Public Service Management. I pride myself in my ability to develop strong relationships and communicate with organisations across sectors. I’m an experienced Project Manager delivering numerous projects across diverse communities and wide geographic regions. I also have business development experience, sourcing resources for regional development opportunities.

In my spare time I enjoy reading crime books, attending crime book festivals, going to the theatre and concerts and doing fun stuff with my nieces and nephews.
