Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity, we are delighted to share an important milestone in our organization’s journey. We write today with two pieces of news that speak to both the strength of our past and our excitement for the future.

Welcoming Our New Executive Director

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Bryn Evans as the NEW Executive Director of Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity. Bryn joined our charity in 2022, demonstrating operational excellence, strategic thinking and genuine compassion in each role she has held at JenAsh. Bryn brings a wealth of experience, vision, and passion for child-centred advocacy that we believe will propel our mission forward in meaningful and lasting ways.

We warmly invite all of our partners, donors, volunteers, and community members to join us in welcoming Bryn to this role. We are confident that Bryn’s leadership will build beautifully upon the strong foundation already in place, and we look forward to the exciting chapter ahead.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Adrienne Grant

We also take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Adrienne Grant, who has served as Executive Director for the past four years with remarkable dedication, compassion, and integrity.

Her tireless advocacy for the children and families we serve, her skill in building enduring partnerships, and her unwavering commitment to our mission have left an indelible mark on everything we do. Adrienne led with both head and heart, and our organization is immeasurably stronger for her service.
