We’re pleased to announce the appointment of five new members to the Board of Trustees of The Money Charity. They join our existing trustees, Justin Basini (Chair), Jen Norris and Jonny Bryan.
Our new trustees bring extensive expertise across education, finance & operations, ESG, consultancy and business development. Two new trustees took up their roles in July, with the remaining trustees joining in October and January.
Our Chief Executive, Michelle Highman, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Cathrine Sparey and Lindsey Berthoud immediately, and Lucy McClements, Richard Whitaker and Verity Baldry (whose appointments will take effect over the next few months) to the Board of Trustees of The Money Charity.
As we look to deliver our 2025-2028 strategy and double our young people and triple our adult community delivery, we took the opportunity to broaden and expand our trustee board. The staff team and existing trustees all join me in welcoming them and look forward to benefiting from their contributions.”
