  • David Woodrow

    David has been with Francis House since 2000 and is working alongside Peter as he finds his feet as Office Manager. 

    Most of David’s time is now spent developing the working relationship with Manchester United and their Charitable Foundation as Francis House is one of their charity partners. 

    He’s one of the teams most recognisable faces – and voices – and has been the driving force behind many of the biggest events in the Francis House calendar such as the Manchester United Abseil, Santa Runs and the Festival of Christmas Trees.

  • Pam Daley

    Pam’s experience in charity fundraising goes beyond the years she has been with Francis House having previously worked with Barnardos. She joined the team in 1994. There can’t be many people who work in this area who haven’t had contact with Pam over the years as her wealth of contacts across the business and social spheres has been of great benefit in the growth of Francis House.

    Pam manages a dedicated team of volunteers, three at the office and two who are out on the road helping to keep the name and the work of Francis House in the public eye.

  • Kate Puc

    If there’s a celebrity involved in a Francis House event then it’s more than likely that Kate will have had something to do with inviting them.

    We often wonder when she will be making her Coronation Street debut as she’s on first name terms with most of the cast.

    Kate has worked with Francis House since 1995 and during this time has developed strong links with schools to increase our fundraising and awareness in this age group. 

    The annual calendar and the Christmas Beanie campaign are just two of the things Kate organises through the year bringing in thousands of pounds for the charity.

    Jemma has recently joined the Francis House Fundraising team and will work specifically in the North Manchester area.

    Having gained a BA (hons) in Psychology she has worked in fundraising for the last three years (mainly in Huddersfield) as a youth and community fundraiser.

    Over half of the families using Francis House come from the North Manchester area and Jemma’s task is to support our many loyal voluntary fundraisers in the Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Tameside area and develop new networks amongst our younger supporters across the community.

  • Andy Glynn

    Andrew’s skills are in getting our message out to the people of the North West and beyond.

    He has many years experience working in the media as a journalist and press officer and so he’s the person to speak to if you think you have an interesting or unusual story about your fundraising activities.

    Andrew is always on the lookout for items for the Francis House newsletter and so if you have something which may be of interest to the wider community please let him know.
