Jeremy joined Charity Bank in 2011. His role is to work with clients, helping them to evaluate the risks associated with loan finance, providing guidance and support throughout the loan application process and on an ongoing basis thereafter.

“During my time working at Charity Bank I have helped clients access in excess of £100m in Social Finance. It has been incredibly rewarding to see how this additional funding has helped them grow impact, income and support long term sustainability.”

With over 20 years experience in the not for profit sector, Ambreen brings knowledge of social policy and strategy development, communications, grant funding and social/evaluative research.

Ambreen currently works as a freelancer supporting a range of charities across the UK. She is passionate about social and racial justice and supporting lived experience expertise to be heard and valued. These themes run across her work as an Associate with Getting on Board (who support greater diversity of people in the charity governance space) and Institute for Voluntary Action Research; and in her non-executive role at Smallwood Trust, where she is championing a Board shadowing programme which aims to shift power to people with lived experience.  Ambreen also is an advisory group member for Migration Exchange.

From 2018-2020 Ambreen worked at the Design Council as Director of Policy, Research and Communications. Prior to the Design Council she worked for 12 years at the Big Lottery Fund (now National Lottery Community Fund) in both their evaluation and policy functions, ending her time there as Deputy Director of England, responsible for the development of a range of multi-million-pound grant funding programmes to the voluntary and community sector.

I began my career in banking in 2015, starting as a cashier at Metro Bank before moving onto the Treasury Risk team, where I spent 7 years.

I joined Charity Bank as a Prudential Risk Manager in June 2024. My role is to oversee, monitor and challenge the financial and prudential risks at Charity Bank, so that the bank meets its regulatory and legal requirements.

I joined Charity Bank because the idea of “ethical banking” really spoke to me. It is a good feeling to know that the bank is supporting a lot of wonderful charities that might not have been able to get help from other lenders.

“My job as the Senior Impact Manager is to help Charity Bank understand and measure the difference that our work is making to borrowers, to their beneficiaries, and—eventually—to society as a whole. Since driving positive social change is integral to our mission, I see impact as a kind of golden thread that runs through everything Charity Bank does. I’m really motivated by the challenge of figuring out how successful we’re being in supporting impact-driven organisations—after all, we’re all here because we want to be making a difference.”

Alex joined Charity Bank in 2025, after having spent several years specialising in evaluating the impact of charities and impact-driven organisations in the education sector.

Outside of work, Alex is a keen climber and skier, and often found halfway up a windswept mountain. Cumulatively, he’s spent nearly 17% of his life living in various parts of Germany, but inexplicably still speaks no German.

Adam Joined Charity Bank in April 2025 with over 20 years banking experience across, High Street, International, Start-up, FinTech and Challenger.
