Charity Team

Jo O’Sullivan

UHCW Charity Director

Dave Lloyd

Grants Officer

My name is Dave and I have worked for UHCW Charity since 2021. My role involves helping staff apply for and receive charity grants. Prior to this, I was a volunteer at the Charity for 18 months. In a previous life I was an engineering manager at JLR, so I have brought my love of spreadsheets to the charity role. After my retirement I was keen to support the NHS in some way after they cared for my mum with so much compassion during her last weeks. In this job I have found the perfect way to do so whilst working with the best bunch of people imaginable. Outside of work I love riding by bike, drinking tea and eating cake, but not all at the same time!

Hayley Craig

Community and Events Fundraiser

My name is Hayley and I’m the newest member of the charity team. After almost 20 years working in the financial services industry, I applied to join UHCW charity following an ‘epiphany’ moment where I decided I wanted to follow my heart and pursue a career that was more rewarding on a personal level. Having received charitable support when my daughter sadly passed away in 1999, I wanted to give back and make a difference to others going through tough times. UHCW Charity enables me to do this, and much more. Outside of work, I’m happiest when spending time with my human and animal family. Or eating cake. I love cake and am guilty of eating far too much of it!

Amy Lucas

Charity Administrator

My name is Amy and I have worked for UHCW Charity since 2019. Prior to this, I worked for NHS Blood and Transplant for 17 years collecting units of blood for transfusion. In 2017 I found myself on the receiving end of the wonderful work UHCW Charity does when I had an extremely premature baby. The items UHCW Charity funded for the Neonatal Unit allowed me to have 28 precious days with my son and also provided a place for my family to be when the time came to say goodbye. As a way of saying thank you I raised over £5000 in Callum’s memory and now that I work for UHCW Charity I feel that I get to continue to offer my thanks every day. Outside of work the thing I like to do most is spend time with family and friends. There is nothing in the world that is more important!

Beccy McMullen

Corporate Fundraiser

My name is Beccy and I joined the Charity in February 2023. I have over 15 years’ experience of working in fundraising and media relations, in both the charity and the private sector. I’m passionate about the role corporates can play in supporting local charities and our incredible NHS. I love meeting corporates of all shapes and sizes, learning about their corporate social responsibility agenda, and how they can make a real difference for our patients, their families and our staff. Outside of work I enjoy camping, cycling and exploring the great outdoors with my young family. I am also the proud owner of a Blue Peter Badge!!
