Meet Our Team & Trustees
To understand how we can better help you perhaps we should start by telling you a bit about us first. Let’s introduce you to our passionate team…
Our Trustees
Keri
Keri is one of the founding members of Curve Foundation and has been a part of the team for the past 4 years, something she is very proud of. She has worked in either finance or construction for most of her career until she decided to venture out on her own and set up her own events company. However, she will tell you her greatest achievement is being the proud mother of two daughters Chase and Reyna and her husband, Trevor, helping them achieve their goals as a vet and musician. Keri is a confessed Book Worm and loves nothing more than snuggling up with one of her 4 cats and a good book. She also enjoys cooking and trying to make the Lyra aerial hoop look graceful.
Tim
Tim joined the Foundation in 2020. He has over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, primarily with the city regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, and its predecessor bodies. He has also worked for the London Stock Exchange and the Bank of England. Tim’s experience lies in policy-making, international negotiations and delivery of complex, strategic projects. Tim is a longstanding, passionate supporter of children’s charities and a child sponsor, and this passion motivated him to get involved with the Foundation. Outside of his work with the Foundation and his career, Tim enjoys spending time with his family, reading, socialising and running.
Yasmin
Yasmin originally started working for the charity in February 2020 where she enjoyed being creative on our Social media channels.

Yasmin joined the charity again in the Summer of 2023 but as a Trustee to support the development of charity as we move forward.
