Business owner

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
Shelter stands out to me as the partnership that delivers real meaningful impact. Access to shelter is a fundamental human right yet people of all ages – young people, families, elderly and displaced people – can find themselves without a roof over their heads. I first worked with Shelter when the visionary and much-missed Sheila McKechnie was at the helm. She brought the pressing issue of homelessness to The Body Shop and we worked together to develop a campaign focused on collecting keys to symbolise access to a secure home. The collected keys were made into a bench as a very public symbol of the security that many of us take for granted yet so many are denied a roof over their head.

What makes you smile?
Random acts of kindness, walks on the beach, picnics in the park and English sparkling wine at sundown.

What makes you frown?
Thoughtlessness, a lack of empathy for people, animals and the planet, waste (food, packaging and lights left on) and disposable barbecues.

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
I would have to say our partnership with Breakout Youth and funding their Pride Prom – I really resonate with the need of having an accesible prom.

What makes you smile?
My husband, my friends, my family and my fur babies! I love spenidng time with the people I love and getting outside and exploring the local countryside where I live. Plus I love a good podcast!

What makes you frown?
When people don’t feel included or heard. Furniture waste – I love a great upcycling project. 

Laura Praeger

What is your day job?
Merchandiser at FatFace

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
It’s got to be the National Forest partnership, I’ve been involved in the process since the start and quite literally seen it grow into an amazing forest!  It’s also very close to where I grew up so I’m really excited about what we’ve achieved together and for what’s to come in the future.

What makes you smile?
Running, cycling, walks with my dog, just generally being out in the countryside whenever I can

What makes you frown?
Littering, butterflies (weird phobia!), Parma violet sweets

Jodie Higgins

What is your day job?
FatFace Foundation Operations Manager

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
It’s so hard to pick just one! I’m very proud of all the help we’ve been able to provide our amazing charity partners. Our goal to donate £1,000,000 to ocean health is absolutely incredible! The ocean is a huge passion of mine so for us to be supporting organisations working hard to protect the ocean through restoration, innovation and education is a dream come true.

What makes you smile?
The ocean, surfing, scuba diving, paddleboarding, family, friends and my two cat babies!

What makes you frown?
Single use plastic, sewage pollution, bottom trawling & a cold cup of tea.

Ian Williams

What is your day job?
Ex FatFace Events and Photography Producer and now running my own business of global conference and event production, as well as running the family B&B.

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership? 
This is a tough one. I have been part of the Foundation since the beginning in 2009 and we have supported some incredible people, projects and causes. I think the one I am most proud of though was the speed at which we supported a factory FF works with in Nepal after the earthquake in 2015. I saw first hand the dramatic impact it had made on the families of the factory some 2 years afterwards.

What makes you smile?
Being on the water or ski slope with family and friends and seeing people have fun.

What makes you frown?
Seeing rubbish in beautiful places and the global inability to sort out a different way of dealing with it.

Matt Prosser

What is your day job?
Senior Financial Controller at The Hyde Group

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
At the moment, I really appreciate what the Foundation has done to contribute to humanitarian aid in Ukraine –  I think it’s great we can contribute to both local and global issues.

What makes you smile?
Football (Liverpool FC), American Football, basically all sports playing and watching and my cats

What makes you frown?
Snakes, Manchester United

John Davies

What is your day job?
I own a legal consultancy which keeps me busy and away from the golf course.

What’s your favourite Foundation project/partnership?
The Pilgrim’s Hospice in Canterbury who cared for my Dad in his final couple of weeks. I will never forget the staff’s totla devotion and love which helped him considerably.

What makes you smile?
Lots of things. I am very glass half full.

What makes you frown?
Luckily for me, not as many things as make me smile.
