Two new faces have joined The Prison Phoenix Trust, expanding and strengthening its staff team and board of trustees.
Rebecca Durrant, has joined as deputy director. She has over 15 years of experience working in small charities in operations and deputy director roles, including most recently managing a food bank in East Oxford. She is helping the organisation plan and implement systems changes needed for it to meet the demand for its services from a growing prison population.
Stefan Lerche, joins The PPT’s board of trustees. He lives in Hertfordshire and has a background in human resources, learning and development and organisational development. He works as a business psychologist and executive coach in the IT sector.
Stefan says: “Being able to support the important work of The Prison Phoenix Trust as a Trustee is an honour. Helping the marginalised and invisible to grow and heal is a very just cause. “
“We are delighted to be building and growing our team at this critical time for the prison services. Rebecca’s experience is a great asset as we move into a new phase of our development, coupled with Stefan’ involvement on the board, it will help us navigate this in the most effective and appropriate way “ said The PPT’s Director, Selina Sasse.
