Nick Rogers

Jess provided excellent support and clear communication to support me to deliver the Money for Life programme across Greater Manchester for the past two years. As Jess was based in London, we spent a lot of time emailing or on the phone to ensure the effective delivery of the programme. Jess is a highly motivated individual whose passion inspires through every communication, as a result, we were able to make a positive impact for hundreds of young people.

Natalie Fordham

Jess is a well organised, personable and motivating team leader. During our time in El Salvador she planned all of our daily activities, ensured we were successfully achieving our goals and translated workshops daily. She continuously integrated well within the community and supported all of our 24 person team throughout the 10 week period.
