Trustees
Lyndsey Campbell, Chairperson & Co-Founder
I’m Jill’s eldest daughter and currently studying for a degree in Psychology with Counselling alongside volunteering as Chairperson for Jill’s Fundraising Journey and bringing up my four wonderful children. JFJ began as my mum’s passion. It was her way of using something incredibly difficult that was happening to her to help others, and that is exactly what I hope the charity will continue to do. Over time it has become my passion too. It feels very much like my fifth baby, and I’m committed to putting as much of myself into it as Mum did. Mum was an incredible force in this world, and I hope to carry forward her determination and spirit as we continue developing Jill’s Fundraising Journey and supporting families through the work of Jill’s Place.
Jemma Campbell, Secretary & Co-Founder
I am Jill's second eldest daughter and currently working as a pharmacist in a hospital in Southampton. I feel very strongly that I am where I am today because my mum was always my motivation, my inspiration and such an important part of my life. Through Jill’s Fundraising Journey, I hope to continue her legacy and the work she cared so deeply about. Mum was someone who touched the lives of everyone around her. Her determination to share her story and raise awareness during her illness helped so many people, and I remain in awe of what she achieved. She showed me how powerful it can be to support others during difficult times and I am committed to continuing her wishes through the work of the charity.
Emma Wickens, Trustee & Co-Founder
I am a busy mum of two young girls and I work as an independent SEND tutor. I feel strongly about ensuring that all children are able to access learning and thrive in education. I have been involved with Jill’s Fundraising Journey since it was founded and have known Jill since I was four years old. She was such an important part of my life, and knowing her was an incredible honour. She taught me so much about love, life and resilience, even before her diagnosis. It is a real privilege to be part of the team at JFJ, and I am incredibly proud of what the charity has achieved. Being able to help provide families with the opportunity to spend meaningful time together and create lasting memories at Jill’s Place is something I feel very proud to be part of.
Emma Gilchrist-Young, Trustee
I became involved with Jill’s Fundraising Journey through my friendship with Lyndsey and knowing how young she was when she lost her mum so suddenly. I wanted to support the charity, especially knowing that helping families in this way was something Jill had hoped for. Over the years I have also lost several people close to me to cancer, including my dad to a cancer-related illness, so I understand how difficult this time can be for families. I feel strongly that the support offered through Jill’s Place gives families valuable time together and the opportunity to reconnect during an incredibly challenging period.
Ella Baxter, Social Media Manager & Trustee
I have been part of Jill’s Fundraising Journey since it first began, after losing my Nonna, Jill, when I was just 9 years old. Being involved with the charity as it has grown over the years has always meant a great deal to me, and I am very proud to now support the team with social media. JFJ has always felt like an important way of keeping my Nonna’s memory and wishes alive, and I really value being able to help share the charity’s work and connect with families and supporters through our online community. Alongside my role with JFJ, I work at a garden centre and enjoy spending my free time reading, building Lego and collecting Jellycats. It means a great deal to me to be able to play a part in continuing my Nonna’s legacy and supporting families through the work of Jill’s Place.
