At The Hepatitis C Trust almost all members of staff have, or have cleared, the virus. We believe that people with personal experience of hepatitis C are best placed to support those living with the virus, for example on the helpline, and also to advocate on their behalf with politicians, with service providers and with commissioners. All staff are listed below, some of whom have decided to share their stories:
| Charles Gore - story Chief Executive | | Saskia Whitfield Community Projects |
| Rachel Bailey Office Administrator | | Shabana Begum South Asian Officer |
| Petra Wright - story Scottish Officer | | Samantha May - story Head of Patient Support Services |
| Catherine Corr Health Day Workshop Manager | | Colin Sim - story Patient Support Officer |
| Gemma Peppe - story Get Tested! Campaign Manager | | Emma Ward Projects Manager |
| Lesley Jenkins - story Training & Development Manager | | Gary Hemphill Peer to Peer Educator |
| Stuart Smith Website & Information Manager | | Becky Hug Policy and Public Affairs Manager (consultant) |
| Richard Denny Patient Support Team Member | | Susan McRae - story Resources Officer |
| Leann Lavery Communications Manager | | Jim Conneely Outreach Officer - Testing Van |
Being patient led can be challenging for us as an organisation because people living with hepatitis C can have periods when they are very unwell, particularly on treatment. But it also means that the atmosphere at the Trust is extraordinarily passionate, positive and mutually supportive.
The team has grown from a couple of volunteers working every available hour to an ever expanding group of people whose breadth of expertise and understanding of the issues puts us in a unique position within the field of hepatitis C. Click here to read our personal stories.
