Founded in 1998, the organisation relies completely on donations and receives funding from a variety of sources, including universities, trusts, foundations, colleges, and more.
The President, Patrons, Trustees, and Chair of the Foundation are all volunteers. They are actively involved in promoting the work of the Foundation, in business planning, fundraising, and performance management. The Foundation’s work and reputation continue to grow with strong support from the further education sector as well as in higher education.
We are now looking for an experienced and committed Treasurer to join the dedicated board of the Helena Kennedy Foundation. Could this be you?
This is more than a role—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact, grow alongside inspiring people, and be part of something truly life-changing! Read on to find out more…
