Rachel started out working as a journalist in Latin America, but moved into charity work after witnessing the shocking levels of poverty in the region.
She has worked in senior management positions in UK charities for over 20 years, in sectors ranging from healthcare to children’s rights and international development. Most recently she worked with Compton’s Fundraising, the UK’s largest fundraising consultancy, providing support with Trusts and Foundations.
Having grown up and spent most of her life in Hackney, Rachel is really enjoying working for a charity that is so connected to this area of London as well as providing benefits to people across the UK who are experiencing poverty or struggling to survive on low incomes.
Outside work, Rachel loves hanging out with her family, travelling and drawing. A few years ago, she went travelling with her husband and two young children through Asia and America which was a big adventure!
