A CHARITABLE foundation has recruited five new staff.
The five will all help the County Durham Community Foundation in its charitable grant-making – the body having distributed £25m since its founding in 1995.
Jo Dalton has been appointed as fund manager, Jane Briggs becomes grants administrator, Peter Redman is now finance administrator and Zoe Fairless and Lauren Davis have been taken on as grant administrator apprentices.
Chief executive Barbara Gubbins said: “I’m excited by all the positive steps we’ve taken in recent months.
“It’s encouraging to see we’re expanding and providing ongoing support to the local community even in these times of austerity.
“The new members of staff will all play a significant part in making a genuine difference to the lives of local people and I hope each of them excels and enjoys their new roles.”
