Simon Vincent has been appointed chair of trustees at Nourish Community Foodbank in Tunbridge Wells, bringing with him a wealth of experience from both his professional and personal life.
Simon’s 25 years of experience in the finance sector – including the last decade focused on the technology side of the business – uniquely positions him to lead the organisation 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.
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 5 September alongside operations director Dawn Stanford, long-standing volunteer Toni Boyce and fellow trustee Viv Packer.
Nourish Community Foodbank was delighted to receive ‘The Charity of the Year Award – Use of Volunteers’ on behalf of all its brilliant volunteers.
Simon said: “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.”
