Will Haire CB, Chair of Trustees, said: “We are delighted to welcome Hilary Cottam, Farah Elahi, Gillian Russell, Jo Swaffield and Kené Umeasiegbu to the group board of trustees. Soon we will start the process of developing our next strategic plan, asking ourselves anew how best can JRF direct its considerable resources to achieving a prosperous UK without poverty. Their fresh perspectives and knowledge of social campaigns, sustainability, innovative work with communities, policy and research, economics and risk management will be hugely valuable to that process.”
