Meet the team

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.”

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.
