Kath joined the Board in June 2022 and is a member of the Finance and Support, Service Delivery and Audit Committees.

She is the Director of People and Finance for Bond (British Overseas NGOs for Development) and sits on the Advisory Board of Positive Planet UK.

Kath trained as an ACA at PricewaterhouseCoopers from 2001 to 2004 where she was a charity specialist and a consultant in international development. In 2006 she moved to work directly in the charity sector when she joined WaterAid’s regional management team for Southern Africa. She has worked with many large charities such as the Wellcome Trust and Greenpeace International, as well as smaller organisations such as Safe Passage International and the Juconi Foundation of Ecuador.

Kath has a special interest in staff development and positive mental health and qualified as a coach in 2007. She is a mentor on the Pathway to Success Leadership and Development Programme run by Operation Black Vote, the House of Commons and Magdalen College Oxford. This programme aims to increase the percentage of people of colour standing for political office and taking up leadership opportunities across society.

In her spare time Kath enjoys sport, socialising and spending time with family, including her foster boxer dog, Luna.
