Jane is one of our Community Capacity Builders for the Well Together programme, which provides funding and support to community groups. Jane has worked in community development for 20 years, including in her own community in Florence Park, Oxford. Previous to that, she worked in developing play services across Oxfordshire (with Oxfordshire Play Association) and before that she was a teacher on a Scottish island. She values the ‘ABCD’ approach to community development – ‘Asset-Based Community Development’, which ‘starts with what’s strong in a community, not with what’s wrong’. She loves socialising, walks and plays drums in an all-woman, over-50s punk band called The HorMones.
