It’s Trustees’ Week, and today we’d like to say a big thank you to Juliet Jukes, one of our newest Governors 💜Juliet joined the Court just over a year ago, and her story begins with a happy coincidence. When she spotted our call for trustees with HR experience, she found that education, care homes and Croydon, her hometown, were all part of the picture. Her family even ran a care home in Croydon when she was growing up.In our latest article, Juliet shares what it’s been like to be part of the Foundation’s discussions during such a significant time, what she’s learned from the role, and how it has taken her back to familiar places like Trinity, where she used to play netball, with a very different purpose.Thank you, Juliet, for your advice and energy!

In our latest article, Asif shares how he makes time for volunteering, what he’s brought to the Foundation, and the highlights of his decade on the Court, from steering us through the pandemic to supporting the opening of a new school in Hyderabad.
