EXCITING NEWS!: ANNOUNCING PLACE FOR HOPE'S NEW DIRECTOR

The Place for Hope Trustees are delighted to announce the appointment of Georgia Boon as the next Director of Place for Hope. Georgia comes to us from the Church Commissioners for England, where she has been the Director for Planning and Engagement and Reparatory Justice Programme Director. Georgia brings over 20 years in senior leadership roles across the charity and faith sectors, including the Barnwood Trust, Allsorts, Christian Aid and Oxfam. Georgia has a wealth of experience in strategic and values-based leadership, partnerships, funding and governance, as well as the creation of spaces for dialogue across deeply contested areas such as reparatory justice, theology and identity in both ecumenical and interfaith contexts.

Georgia is married to Tim and they live in Gloucestershire with their daughter while their eldest is starting her career in London. Georgia is very much looking forward to joining Place for Hope in mid-August.

"The opportunity to lead Place for Hope is one I feel privileged and blessed to be able to take up. Place for Hope is an organisation that is growing and which has significant impact through its work with partners and its amazing team of practitioners. I look forward very much to working with the team and trustees to support the organisation during its next chapter." ~ Georgia Boon
