• In 2014, 1,432 women were identified as potential victims of trafficking in the UK. Of these 653 were trafficked for sexual exploitation.
• 2 women are murdered by their partners or ex-partners per week.
• 750,000 children witness domestic violence each year.
AVA is an expert, ground-breaking charity working across the UK to address this immense challenge. We provide training & consultancy to frontline charities that deal with survivors and those experiencing violence on a daily basis. Our mission is to end gender-based violence through policy, research and prevention work.
As a trustee, my role is to ensure the charity works in the best interests of its mission and beneficiaries and:
● has a clear vision, mission, values and strategy with measurable objectives.
● operates in an accountable, transparent manner and always complies with the law.
● manages its finances well and according to funder requirements.
I became Chair in Sep-17 and was then accountable for leading the board of trustees - ensuring its effective governance - and supporting the Chief Executive in the efficient running of the organisation. I am particularly proud of the work AVA delivered during my tenure and of the growth and stability that was achieved - particularly during extremely challenging and uncertain times.
I stepped away from the Chair role in Sep-22 but remained on the board as a trustee until the organisation closed in February 2024.
I feel very grateful to have spent nearly a decade supporting a wonderful charity that has done to much to help women and girls around the UK. -
