Food For Families Trustees
Lesley Maslen - Chair of Trustees
The driving force behind the project’s inception is retired businesswoman Lesley Maslen. She was very concerned about local families who may be struggling to provide nutritious meals when household budgets were so tight. Lesley imagined it being a short term project, however due to her drive and desire to help, Food For Families is busier than ever and diversifying all the time. Lesley has worked tirelessly to make FFF what it is today.

Jeanette is the bedrock of Food for Families, with over 22 years experience working in a school kitchen; she brings a wealth of cooking know-how but is also extremely hardworking, positive and funny. It's never a dull moment in the kitchen if Jeanette is cooking. With a 'can do' attitude, she works tirelessly with Lesley to make Food For Families a success.
