I’ve been a PIP Trustee since 2000 when I arrived back in the UK from Australia. I really enjoy being involved in the not-for-profit sector and I currently work as the Finance Manager of International Students House, which is a charity providing accommodation for overseas students.

I became a trustee at PIP in 2012. I got involved with PIP because I believe in contributing my skills, experiences and focusing my efforts towards trying to help better the communities around us. My background is in Project Management and Engineering. I really enjoy being part of the PIP family and find the experience very fulfilling and personally rewarding. During my free time I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and exploring new places.

Elizabeth Jackson

Elizabeth Jackson

I joined PIP as a trustee in February 2012 and have been hugely impressed by the work of the charity. From my own experience of having a younger brother with learning disabilities, I am truly passionate about the work PIP does for all our students. Currently I work in media for the Department of Health and have a background of policy and programme management. My passion is travelling so I take every opportunity to visit new countries and photograph all my experiences. In my spare time I enjoy long distance running and reading.
