Liz has lived in South Northamptonshire for 43 years. She enjoyed a successful career in retail management, distribution, and then worked in local government for 10 years.
She was a parish councillor and a trustee for Daventry Citizens Advice, completing her terms of office. Now a trustee for Cruse Bereavement Support but still supports clients on a one-to-one basis. Though Cruse is a much larger charity, it too is facing a very difficult and challenging climate for funding.
Liz feels fortunate that her adult children and their families all live locally which allows time to enjoy grandchildren and be part of their lives.
She joined SNVB in 2021 because it’s often innovative ideas and the role it plays in the community is impressive and it’s vital that it is funded to continue serving local residents.

Joy has spent over 20 years in the emergency services sector, leading work on national standards for fire services in England, and previously working on a major project developing joint working guidance for all emergency services. She has recently left full time employment and started her own business consultancy company.

She has lived in Towcester since 2022, moving here to join her partner after living in Rugby for 10 years. She has two children, her son graduating in 2023, and her daughter in her last year at university. Joy joined SNVB because she wanted to contribute to the local community and was delighted to have the opportunity to serve as a Trustee, joining the board in 2023.
