Katherine Sellar

Independent Trustee

I am the Community Programmes Manager at People’s Postcode Lottery, where I lead the funding programmes that support small charities and community groups.  I also serve as a Trustee for the Edinburgh and Lothian Trust Fund, a grant-making organisation dedicated to helping people living in poverty across the Lothians. 

Before moving into grant making, I worked as a fundraiser for charities spanning mental health, conservation and the arts.  I feel lucky to have now been part of the thriving charity sector for almost 20 years.

I live on the Scottish coast with my young family.  We love braving the chilly beaches before warming up with some hot chocolate!

I have been a Trustee of UKCF since November 2025.  I have seen first-hand the amazing impact community foundations have and I am looking forward to getting to know the network better.
