Welcome to our new Trustee: Mark Jackson OBE!

We warmly welcome the appointment of Mark Jackson OBE to the WCT board.

I grew up in Worcestershire near Broadway. After school I became the third generation of my family to serve in our County Regiment, then the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment, and enjoyed a full career with much travel and varied experiences from working in Whitehall to service in Northern Ireland, where I was awarded the OBE, and with the United Nations.

At the end of my military career I returned to Worcestershire and had the enormous privilege of serving as the Chief Executive of St Richard’s Hospice for eleven years of great expansion. During this period I gained a great insight into the fantastic contributions so many Worcestershire people make to over 1,500 charities and community groups across our county. 

The Worcestershire Community Foundation serves them all and I am honoured to be part of the team to help it continue to support such a vital part of our civic society.
