Welcome to new trustees and team member

We are excited to welcome new board members Sara Hunt and Adam Perkins and new team member Mairead Kenny.

Sara and Adam join the board of trustees and Mairead is our new strategic advisor.

Their appointments follow that of Luke Tomkins, our Treasurer, to the board, where he has taken over from John Tress as financial trustee.

Beyond Conflict Director and Co-Founder Edna Fernandes said: “Sara, Adam and Mairead bring incredible expertise in the fields of strategic development, risk management, finance and fundraising. All three have a passionate commitment to the issue of mental health and they will help Beyond Conflict chart its course for the next five years. Thank you, Sara, Adam and Mairead for joining our charity, and we look forward to the ideas, expertise and vigour you will bring.

“The Beyond Conflict team also gives a huge ‘thank you’ to our former financial trustee John Tress for his tremendous commitment and expert advice through the charity’s first five years. John has helped us to build a firm foundation to take us to the next phase of delivering mental health support to people who have fled conflict zones. We’re extremely grateful too to Luke Tomkins, who has stepped up into John’s role on our board.

“Everyone at Beyond Conflict is a volunteer, meaning that every penny of donations we receive goes to the practical support we provide.”
