Welcome to new staff

MR : 14/04/10

The Trust is pleased to announce three new appointments to the staff team

Head of Programmes
Dr Debbie Pippard will join the Trust in May as the new Head of Programmes. She joins us from the Big Lottery Fund where she is Senior Head of Region. Debbie has a wealth of experience in community activism, service delivery, grant making and strategic policy influence.

Criminal Justice Programme Officer
Max Rutherford joined the Trust in April as our Criminal Justice Programme Officer. He joins us from the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, where he was Policy and Strategy Officer for the Prisons and Criminal Justice Programme.

Finance and Administration Assistant
Kateryna Solomeyina joined the Trust in March as Finance and Administration Assistant. She was previously at the Peter Bedford Housing Association, a special needs housing provider specialising in residents with mental health problems and ex offenders.

And Good Bye to Phoebe
We were sorry to lose Phoebe Griffith, Research and Partnerships Manager in March. Phoebe has accepted a new post as Programme Manager at the Young Foundation. We know this is a great move for her but we will miss her all the same. Thank you Phoebe for all your work and creative thinking at the Trust.

And Shan
Shan Nicholas has been Development Director for the Transition to Adulthood Alliance through a very critical time. Shan was only ever expected to be here short-term and will gradually withdraw as Max takes over. Thank you Shan for your expert guidance and support to the Alliance.
