Christine is a strong advocate for the voluntary sector having seen first-hand the difference charities can make to people’s lives. Ensuring the voice of those being supported is heard, and used to make positive change, is something she is passionate about.
After a 15-year marketing career for FTSE 100 companies, she moved to the voluntary sector in 2013 and has never looked back. She has developed and managed charity services and latterly was CEO of a charity. She is a strong believer in listening to the views and needs of those being supported, building strong relationships, and collaborative working to create sustainable change.
In her spare time Christine enjoys family cycling, heading to a yoga class, and has recently been going cold water swimming.
