Simon Vincent has been appointed Chair of Trustees at Nourish Community Foodbank and brings with him a wealth of experience from both his professional and personal life. Simon’s 25 years’ experience in the finance sector includes the last decade focused on the technology side of the business, which positions him uniquely to lead the organisation during a time when digital transformation and innovation are more important than ever.
As Chair, Simon is eager to build on the strong foundation laid by his predecessor, Sue Smith, who remains onboard as a Trustee following a six-year tenure as Vice-Chair and Chair latterly. Simon is passionate about leveraging technology and strategic thinking to further the charity’s impact and efficiency.
Simon’s first official event was to attend the Kent Charity Awards on Thursday 5 September alongside Dawn Stanford, Operations Director, long-standing Volunteer Toni Boyce and fellow Trusteee, Viv Packer. Nourish Community Foodbank were delighted to receive The Charity of the Year Award – Use of Volunteers on behalf of all the brilliant volunteers who are at the heart of the charity’s operation.
Simon comments; “It was humbling that Nourish was recognised for how our teams and volunteers work together. We were fortunate to have Toni, one of our long standing volunteers join us last night and celebrate the win. We also send our congratulations to fellow finalists in our category, Kent Wildlife Rescue Services and Bright Shadow.”
