Joe Waterton, Macmillan Lottery and Statutory Funding Manager, said:
“With Karen on board, we will be able to extend our work in providing advice for cancer self-help and support groups – enabling them to apply for small grants from Lottery programmes like Awards for All. By doing so, we’ll be making a big difference at community level.”
Karen joins Macmillan from the Wellcome Trust where she assessed and managed grants for Research Fellows and other academics. She’ll be working alongside Joe in preparing funding bids and managing grant income for the charity.
