I have some sad news, I’m afraid. After just over three wonderful years, I’ll be stepping away from CharityConnect next week on Thursday 26th March to start a new venture.

It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a supportive and passionate community. When I first started working on CharityConnect, the whole platform looked quite different. For those of you who have been around a while, you might remember when our homepage looked different, with communities tucked away on the right-hand side and not always clear in purpose. I’m really proud to have played a part in reshaping that experience and helping to introduce clearer, more accessible communities and subcommunities that better reflect who we are and how we connect.

One of my absolute highlights has been launching our Connections event series. We’ve had the privilege of hearing from some truly inspiring guest speakers, sharing wisdom and practical advice for those navigating challenges in the sector. A special thank you to Jinsha Joshy for being such a brilliant co-host and collaborator throughout.

Thank you all for being part of this journey, for your engagement, your openness, and the impact you create every day. I’ll be cheering you on from afar, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for the community. Do feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, I'd love to stay in touch. Wishing you all the best.
