Jo Brooke
Trusts and Foundation Manager
WHAT DO YOU DO AT THE CHARITY?
As the Trusts and Foundations Manager here at Encephalitis International I help secure grant funding to support our life changing work. I am always on the lookout for new opportunities and enjoy building lasting partnerships with organisations that share our passion for making a difference.
WHY DO YOU LIKE WORKING HERE?
I’m proud to be part of an amazing North Yorkshire organisation making a difference across the UK and around the world. I also love working with such a kind, hardworking and enthusiastic team—and I’m always learning something new.
TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, keeping active and walking our two black Labradors around the beautiful local coast and countryside we are so lucky to have in this area. I love anything creative and attend live music events whenever I get the chance.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE ENCEPHALITIS SOCIETY MAKE IN YOUR OPINION?
Encephalitis International is a vital network offering accurate and up to date advice and information to ensure people diagnosed or affected by encephalitis are better supported in every way possible. It continues to proactively promote awareness of this condition on a global scale and makes a genuine impact on the treatment of encephalitis around the world.
