What I do

I am responsible for leading the finance function at UKCF, ensuring our resources are properly managed and ensuring operational effectiveness.

About me

Before joining UKCF I spent over 10 years working in a charity-specialist audit and accountancy practice as a senior audit manager. My role involved providing accounting, assurance, tax and advisory services to a wide range of charity clients, including lots of community organisations that benefited hugely from community foundation funding.

Outside of work

I volunteer as the Treasurer Trustee for a small charity that works to support families in Kampala, Uganda, to become more self sufficient. I love living in Bristol and enjoy getting out in the country, hiking in the Brecon Beacons or taking the dog for a run on the beach.
