What am I responsible for?

As a Funding Relationship Manager, I am responsible for creating, holding and maintaining the key relationships Barnwood Trust has with its funded partners. I manage the Lifecyle of the funding process providing support from start to finish. These relationships allow us to learn in partnership with the organisations we fund.  This role means I am in contact with a huge range of amazing organisations, who are delivering essential work across our county.

What brings me here?

I am passionate about working in partnership across sectors to address health inequalities in our communities. I have worked in front line VCSE organisations, and I am passionate about the power, creativity and essential work done. My employment history ranges from Early Years work with children under five,  to working within community hubs across Stroud District. I have also sat on various NHS and council boards as a VCSE rep. I am a fierce advocate for all things VCSE!

What do I enjoy spending time doing in your spare time?

I love spending time with my husband and our two daughters, my favourite place to be in the world is with them. I also enjoy reading and absolutely LOVE watching live music. My other hobbies include listening to waaaaaaay too many true crime podcasts and gardening.
