Alice joined Benefact Trust in March 2020 and is responsible for raising the profile of the Trust with engaging content on our website and social media channels. A journalism graduate with a background in marketing and communications, Alice is passionate about storytelling and sharing the amazing projects we support with others. Alice said: “I joined Benefact Trust at the beginning of the Coronavirus lockdown, when there was a lot of uncertainty and worry in the world. Being able to share stories of our continuing grants and how they have helped communities throughout the pandemic has been a really positive and touching experience. I feel very proud to continue to share our work and the light it brings to many communities.
