Karen Jeal

I started as Strode Park Foundation’s Fundraising, Marketing and PR Manager in April 2019. In 2020 I was promoted to the Director of Fundraising and Communications.

My communications experience is in public, private and the charity sectors. I am passionate about the work we do to deliver care services to children, young people and adults with disabilities and I am committed to making a real difference to people’s lives. I hope through the links with local communities, the local media and our own marketing channels that we’re able to get the right messages across and raise money and generate awareness for this fantastic and worthwhile charity.

My experience includes fundraising, public relations, digital development, social media, campaign development, internal communications, media management, design and branding and communications strategy and delivery.

Outside of work I enjoy beach life on the north Kent coast and have three girls who keep me very busy.
