Sanja Djeric-Kane - CEO, Kingston Voluntary Action 

Sanja has volunteered and worked in the local voluntary sector for 12 years, in a variety of roles. These included managing training provision for Kingston Voluntary Action, and running two local organisations that support the most deprived members of the community. During her career in the voluntary sector in Kingston, she has successfully raised funds from the Big Lottery, BBC Children in Need, Tudor Trust, Esmee Fairbairn, Lloyds Bank Foundation and others, and partnered with pan-London organisations in successfully bidding for ESF and London Councils funds. 

Whilst working for Kingston Voluntary Action during 2009 - 2013, she particularly enjoyed contributing towards and witnessing the growth of many Kingston organisations through KVA's comprehensive training programme, capacity building of voluntary sector managers, the inception of Love Kingston, collaboration with Cranfield Trust and the introduction of the LocalGiving platform.
