Luan Roberts - Head of Active Events
JDRF is a wonderful charity to work for, and I feel privileged to be a part of a fantastic team that is working tirelessly to find a cure. It would mean changing the lives of so many people and I feel privileged to be a part of that. My job means I get to meet so many of our wonderful supporters and their families and friends. It also means I get to scream and cheer very loudly most weekends at events. If I'm not cheering really loudly, then you will find me spending time with friends and family, usually at a coffee shop or walking in Epping Forest and looking after my lovely doggies.
Faron Bloomfield - Challenge and Sports Events Manager
It's a real privilege to work at JDRF and to have such close contact with our supporters on a daily basis. Being a small part of our supporters fundraising journey and cheering them on as they push themselves to their limits in pursuit of a cure for type 1 is a huge motivator for me.
Jude Hughes - Senior Sports Events Fundraiser
Following the diagnosis of my twins Amelie and Albie with type 1, I have been passionate about fundraising and finding a cure. They are so happy I am now working for JDRF as they think I will be the one finding the cure! I have recently taken up triathlons, and love a challenge.
Lydia Clark - Challenge Events Fundraiser
Working in challenge events means I'm lucky enough to speak with lots of amazing fundraisers, many of whom are directly affected by type 1 and are incredibly motivated to support JDRF. Seeing where the money goes and the impact it has on research around the world is so inspiring. Working at JDRF is not only fun but also hugely rewarding and you really feel like you're making a difference.
Allan Sutherland - Head of Corporate and Trusts
I am delighted to be at JDRF and am inspired by the amazing work that JDRF does and the extraordinary life changing research we fund. I am very lucky to be able to work with our supporters around fundraising and find out about the ways JDRF makes a difference to those living with type 1. I am a slow but enthusiastic runner and swim outdoors on Hampstead Heath most days, whatever the weather and water temperature.
Catriona Armstrong - Fundraising Manager, Scotland
My partner was diagnosed nearly 10 years ago with type 1 and a cure would mean everything to us. I can’t wait for the day when everyone living with type 1 can throw away their insulin pumps/pens and forget about carb counting and never look back! I’m a qualified gymnastics coaching assistant.
Elspeth Campbell - Senior Scotland Fundraiser
As the mother of a son with type 1 diabetes, I am inspired by all the amazing research which has brought us closer to a world without type 1 and by the progress in technology which does so much to help people living with the condition. I am proud to be part of an organisation which plays a major role in the search for a cure and to be able to make a contribution to something that would mean so much to our family and thousands of others throughout the world.
Carol Kennedy - Senior Scotland Fundraiser
Having been a volunteer for five years I understand and respect what JDRF are doing to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. I feel very lucky to have two beautiful daughters who do not have type 1. This is my chance to help others less fortunate.
Hayley Perez - Head of Individual Giving and Supporter Care
I’ve seen first-hand the impact type 1 diabetes can have and I know the best way to help is through research. It’s great to be part of the JDRF team, working together to find the cure that will change so many lives.
Jess Broad - Special Events Manager
Whilst I do not have a personal connection to type 1, working at JDRF has shown me the impact of the condition on those living with type 1 as well as their families. I have met so many passionate and dedicated supporters who inspire me to do my job. I am proud to work for an organisation that is funding such incredible research with the aim to find the cure.
Lucy Mason Pearson - High Value Partnerships Manager - New Business
It is very motivating to work with the corporate sector and explore how JDRF can partner with companies in a way that benefits both sides. We have some great partnerships that are helping to raise vital funds for JDRF in our fight towards a world without type 1. I am pug mad and love walking my two black pug dogs.
