WHO's WHO @ JAC

Here are some brief profiles about our staff team and what they do.

Sam Milligan - Development Director

Sam is our Development Director, and as such is the head of the organisation. He represents JAC at many local council committees and of course is on the front line with the detached youth work. 

Sam and his wife Yvonne are the founders of JAC and are still very much involved in every aspect of the charity.   Sam and Yvonne recently celebrated their 30th Wedding Anniversary, have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.

Yvonne Milligan - Operations Manager

 Although Yvonne, together with Sam, is largely responsible for fundraising and the efficient running of the charity , she also gets involved with detached work, school small groups and one-to-one mentoring.  As a qualified archery teacher, she enjoys running group archery sessions.

Sue Stevenson - Office Manager

Sue is our newest member of staff  having started with JAC in September of 2009.  Sue worked in administration and IT until six years ago when she decided on a career change and trained as a Fitness Instructor.  Sue is responsible for the day to day running of the office.  She also enjoys helping with school small groups and is on the Crowthorne detached team.

David was a longstanding volunteer with JAC until he joined the JAC staff heading up the work in Earley. Working alongside Wokingham District Council he co-ordinates the joint detached work.  David is well known and respected by the young people of Earley working with them on streets, in schools and mentoring.  David is married with two children.
