Our Team and Trustees

Each team member brings unique strengths and lived experience, united by a single purpose: to champion hope and create lasting impact for people, wildlife, and the planet.

  • Drive programmes protecting wildlife and habitats
  • Inspire and support young changemakers through Roots & Shoots
  • Amplify Jane’s message through public engagement, campaigns, and storytelling
  • Ensure organisational excellence in governance, finance, and outreach
