It is a joy to work at the Pears Foundation and to be a part of such a vibrant organisation. The foundation team is a small but dynamic and passionate group, who continue to carry out such important work in the wider community with integrity. What makes the Pears Foundation unique, in my option, is that our partners have access to more than funding and advice, but a space that allows for difficult conversations to be held a friendly and compassionate environment. And also, we often have cake.
Lucy joined Pears Foundation as our Hub Coordinator in 2023, overseeing the daily operations of the Pears Hub and supporting Pears partners to make the most out of the space to work, meet and learn. She has taken pride in hosting Hub events which allow the Pears community to come together for both Professional Development and a some well deserved celebration.
Lucy moved to Pears Foundation after working as a Recruitment Manager for the charity sector, where she further developed her passion for working with charities and not for profit organisations of all sizes. She has a depth of experience in running events and competitions. Having moved to London in 2023, Lucy comes from Dublin where she studied History, Politics and International Relations at UCD, where she focused on human rights and inequalities. She is an experienced public speaking and debate coach, still regularly competing and judging at competitions internationally.
