Welcome to the ReachOut family!

We're excited to welcome several new team members into the ReachOut fold in both London and Manchester. As we prepare for the new academic year and the 66 mentoring projects starting soon they will have their work cut out!

So let's meet them!

Caroline Cheetham (pictured right)
A former primary school teacher in Sheffield, Caroline brings her experience with young people and knowledge of the KS2 curriculum to the charity as the new ReachOut Club Project Manager in London.

Jo Tripney (pictured left)
Jo is our new Volunteering Officer in Manchester. She formerly worked in the student volunteering team at Manchester University Students' Union so is prepared to manage the questions and expectations of our student volunteers.

Chris Mills (pictured right)
Chris joins the fundraising team in London, focusing on Trusts and Foundations applications. He's an Oxford grad but also plays bass in a band, raising the coolness of the team by a factor of 10!

Alice Pooley
Our new ReachOut Academy Project Officer in Manchester, Alice is well placed to manage our secondary school projects thanks to her Teach First training and project work in Hong Kong. 

Adriana Buffa (pictured left)
Our summer intern, Adriana, is from northern Italy and is busy sightseeing and exploring London whilst also taking a lead on stakeholder consultations. 

Elizabeth Thornton
Elizabeth is the newest member of our team, joining after a stint in Colombia volunteering in an orphanage. She is helping to create character development resources as well as with recruitment in London. 

Alison Braybrooks
Alison actually starts on Monday but she knows ReachOut well having been part of our Board of Advisors and volunteering in the office. She specialises in Impact Measurement and has a wealth of experience; formerly Head of Corporate Fundraising for Macmillan and has also worked in the CSR team for UBS and EDF energy. She will be heading up the fundraising team in London.

Massive welcome to them all, and also to all our new volunteer mentors who are gearing up to start projects in the coming months.
