Lydia

Communications and Marketing Manager

lcerguera@ukcommunityfoundations.org

What I do

I manage the internal and external channels of communication and marketing for UKCF, manage our website and communicate information to our members and external stakeholders. I work with national media outlets to share compelling news and insights about what we do and support the MarComms community of practice within our network.

About me

Throughout my professional life I have volunteered in community development projects in places such as South Africa, Botswana, The Gambia and within the UK, and have a post graduate 1:1 in Creative and Professional Writing. I have previously worked in the education sector collaborating with local charities, as well as providing freelance communications for a range of clients, from investment firms to universities.

Outside of work

In my spare time, you’ll find me walking across the local South Gloucestershire fields with my flat-coated retriever, practising karate in our local dojo or heading to the coast for some sea air.
