We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Jessica Taplin and Victoria Bouamama as they step down as Trustees from the CareTech Foundation.
Jessica joined us as a Trustee in 2019, Chair of Grants Committee and Member of Audit, Risk and Investment Committee, following her commitment and background in the non profit sector. As the Chief Executive of the British Gas Energy Trust and a valued strategic advisor and mentor, her expertise has played a vital role in creating lasting impact within the social care sector.
Victoria joined us as a Staff Trustee and member of Remuneration Committee due to her passion and dedication within the social care sector. Having worked hands on in management and education within the health and social care sector, her understanding and passion for the field has been crucial in shaping the Foundation’s direction and driving its meaningful impact

'We are incredibly grateful to Jessica and Victoria for their support of the Foundation over the years. Their guidance, insight and willingness to engage us has made a difference which is very clear to see. On a personal level, I have greatly appreciated being able to rely on their readiness to support me. We are pleased that with the new awards format of CareTech Ltd, Gyorgy and John will join us and bring a new perspective and fresh eyes to our work. They both represent the two separate divisions. We always strive to do better and having talented staff trustees is critical to this. We are excited by what is yet to come!'
