Jess originally became involved with Omega through volunteering as a researcher. She was keen on supporting an organisation that tackled loneliness and isolation, having personally experienced the impact that health issues could have on social opportunities and connection with friends, family and other people generally. Jess moved from volunteering into a part time role in the Grant Fundraising Team in early 2022, working towards securing the money Omega needs to continue providing services. She finds it very satisfying to know that every pound Omega can encourage its generous funders and supporters to donate, will go towards improving clients’ lives.
