Jessica Costello

Jessica is a performance and impact advisor for the autism and learning disabilities fund at Inspiring Scotland. She is passionate about the impact the voluntary sector can have in improving a persons life and offering the support they deserve.

Jessica comes from a legal background, having completed a degree in law and going on to work within the justice sector. She has since then spent time working within the third sector with a focus on mental health and the power of lived experience. This project further drove her passion to work within a sector that encourages change whilst always valuing inclusion.

Jessica support for the voluntary sector extends beyond her professional role as she has been a volunteer at the Moira Anderson Foundation for over two years. She has helped in organising fundraising events and raising awareness for the charity.
