A NEW FOUNDATION DIRECTOR JOINS OUR TEAM
W
e are delighted to introduce Jenny North, who joined us as Director of The Clothworkers’ Foundation this March.
Jenny has left Dartington Service Design Lab, where she was Deputy CEO. She worked closely with local authorities, funders, and charities to support the organisation’s strategy development, service design and evaluation needs. In particular, she led on projects using rapid-cycle methods for design and testing of programmes – helping organisations generate and use their own evidence to improve their services and, ultimately, outcomes. Dartington’s focus on outcomes for children and young people is a theme throughout Jenny’s career. She previously worked at Impetus, a venture philanthropist supporting charities focused on narrowing the disadvantage gaps in educational attainment and youth employment. There, she developed
her interest in supporting organisations to focus on improving, not just proving, their impact. She also led the commissioning of ground-breaking research to understand the impact of disadvantage on young people’s job prospects. Prior to that, she worked as Head of Policy at Relate, campaigning around the impact of parental conflict on children, and lobbying successfully for more support for families navigating relationship breakdown. She has also worked at the Maternity Alliance, New Policy Institute and the Home Office. Jenny is a Non-Executive Director at Youth Futures Foundation and the Social Investment Business, as well as a member of the Advisory Committee for Impact on Urban Health’s Child Obesity Programme.
Jenny said ‘I am delighted to be joining The Clothworkers’ Foundation with its track record of needs- and evidenceled funding. I am looking forward to working with the staff team at The Company and Foundation to build on these strengths, and put our resources where they need to be. The pandemic has revealed great inequalities and challenges, but also great strengths and assets within society – I believe The Clothworkers’ Foundation can enable great charities and social businesses to meet these challenges.’
