Michaela Kenney

I joined the Community Foundation in 2010, managing a project called YouthBank that engaged local young people in grant-making.  I am now a Senior Programmes Executive, which means I am a point of contact for our applicants and offer support and advice where possible.  I also assess grant applications, look after some of our smaller funds and support the programme managers on larger funds.

Prior to discovering the charity sector, I worked within the finance teams of two local retailers where my key role was cash office support.  I graduated from the University of Central Lancashire in 2009 with a 2:1 Combined Honours degree in Law and Spanish.  More recently, I completed a Proofreading and Editing course, passing with a distinction.  I am also qualified in First Aid at Work.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and two young children as well as family and friends. I love Liverpool FC and getting lost in a good book.
