Our people

1. The current composition of the working group consists of two trustees, Aphra and Ann, along with two staff members, Abby who handles grants, and Jake who handles communications. The reason for this change is that Priya has stepped down from her role as trustee, but will still serve as an advisor on the committee. We are currently in the process of searching for new trustees. Colin (investment) has also left FPF. We are also in search of an Investment Engagement Manager. We expect that one of the new trustees and the Investment Engagement Manager will join our team
2. Made a commitment to sharing a breakdown of staff and trustee demographics (see below) – we are making graphs to illustrate this data
3. We have launched our new programme where diversity is centred in all of our work (see Our Strategy page). We also have incorporated equity and social justice within our grant making – it is to early to publish data on this but it should be available soon
4. Our first Equity and Social Justice training session will take place in May.
5. We have decided not to publish in Welsh owing to limited in-house resources.
