Volunteer Centre Hackney is governed by our Board of Trustees, who delegate the day-to-day running of the charity to our Chief Executive Officer, Lauren Tobias.
Phil Gray
Phil is the Chair of our board and works as a fundraiser for Bite Back. Phil’s experiences have allowed him to see how critical volunteering is for building community and social infrastructure as well as reducing social isolation and loneliness, which is what VCH is all about. He hopes to bring his fundraising experience and knowledge of the fundraising landscape to VCH to support with the growth of income generation, income diversification, and social impact.
Jade Tan
Jade is Vice-Chair of the board and has volunteered with VCH’s befriending and vaccination programmes, which led to a stint supervising volunteers within the programme. The experiences forged a desire to support Hackney’s diverse community. Jade brings with her twenty years of experience working in the film and TV industry.
Olivia Fuller
Olivia lives and works in Hackney, and wants to give back to a borough that has brought her nothing but joy. She is a results-driven corporate fundraiser with a strong track record in forging meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships for a variety of causes. With so much passion to bring to the board, Olivia is also keen to learn more about a charity that sits at the heart of the community.
