I joined the Foundation team in November 2023 in the role of Programme Manager, and currently lead the Foundation’s grant making through several of our larger public sector funds.

With over 20 years’ experience in business development and project management in the private sector I made the transition to the charity sector to further my ambition to do more meaningful work, and Heart of England Community Foundation has certainly offered me that opportunity. I pride myself on my ability to develop strong relationships and communicate with organisations across sectors, and have a love of connecting people, to help them grow.

With a background in customer focussed roles, my key drivers are people and helping to make a positive change to their lives.

In my spare time when I am not being Mum to my 3 children, I can usually be found up a mountain (or at least a hill), attempting to cook, or wrapped up on the sofa with a good film.
