Lydia

Communications and Marketing Manager

lcerguera@ukcommunityfoundations.org

What I do

I manage the internal and external channels of communication and marketing for UKCF, as well as our website and social media.  I also work with the media to share compelling news and insights about what place-based giving through community foundations can achieve, and lead our network's MarComms community of practice.

About me

Throughout my professional life I have volunteered in community development projects in places such as South Africa, Botswana, The Gambia and within the UK, and have a 1st in Creative and Professional Writing.  I have previously worked in the education sector collaborating with local charities, as well as providing freelance communications for a range of clients, from investment firms to universities.

Outside of work

In my spare time, I mostly walk across our local South Gloucestershire fields with my flat-coated retriever, start questionable DIY projects and read adventurous stories.
