Joe holds the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP) designation, and also holds the ICA Advanced International Anti money laundering certificate.

Joe has spent his career working within the charity sector, with particular experience in philanthropy, grant-making and fundraising. Prior to joining CAF, Joe was the Director of Philanthropy at the Community Foundation for Surrey, working closely with families, businesses and trusts who wanted to give back to their county through establishing donor advised funds. Joe also previously led two charities for young people which provided him with valuable front line experience of the issues impacting our communities and how funding can be used most effectively to support solutions which make a difference.

In his spare time, Joe also has previous experience as an elected District Councillor in Surrey, serving a term on Mole Valley District Council between 2016-2019.
