Jennie Payne

Fundraising Manager

Jennie first became involved in the charity sector at university in Bristol, where she volunteered on the committee of Student Hubs to engage other students in social and environmental action.

She has worked in fundraising since graduating, first for a disabled children’s charity in Surrey and later at Parkinson’s UK.

Jennie joined Groundswell in 2021 and manages relationships with many of the charity’s key funders, including Comic Relief and the National Lottery Community Fund. Her favourite aspect of fundraising is getting to share and explain Groundswell’s incredible work to other people, bringing in new supporters to help us work together to find new solutions to homelessness.
