Helena - Fundraising Manager

A New Year and a new adventure begins!

I joined the Reach family in January 2026 as the Fundraising Manager which a new and exciting chapter in my life . 
I have over two decades of fundraising, charity and philanthropic experience and a decade of working in the corporate world of professional indemnity insurance for the Law Society. 

I am very fortunate to have worked at some of the most worthwhile and prestigious charities and more importantly, for me, those I have a passion for. 

Which is why 'Reach' stood out for me as an organisation that I wanted to be part of and help as part of the team to grow further.  
My strengths lay within relationship building and creating positive corporate partnerships, I strongly believe that corporate charity partners need to feel valued, are clearly communicated with and above all appreciated for all that they do.  Without their support there is no us. I also have an affinity with all those that want to help others and make this world a better place.

I adore living on the North Essex /Suffolk border and am an avid nature lover especially birds, blessed to have a wonderful family and friends and a best friend called Molly, who is a gorgeous little Maltese cross ball of fluff. 

I took a degree in Art & Design a hundred years ago and find joy in being creative whether in the garden or illustrating and have a great love for music, am an avid reader and simply enjoy all that life & nature has to offer me.
