About Us

Change4Change is committed to bringing about change and improvement in the lives of people in developing countries through business opportunities.

The charity has a Board of Trustees, all of whom are Christians and members of churches within Nottinghamshire, England.

All of the Change4Change Trustees work for the charity without charge as they are committed to ensuring that 100% of monies given is directed to the projects.

Projects, which receive funding are not selected on religious or ethnic grounds but upon sound business proposals and the Change4Change guidelines, as our aim is to give people the opportunity to create a sustainable income and help to release them from poverty.

Biographies

Martin Jeffs

As a 52 year old accountant who is married with three grown up children and a director of Tenon Ltd (Accountants and Business Advisors), I decided that I ought to use my ablities and contacts to make a difference to people much less fortunate than the majority who will be reading this. After visits to Sri Lanka and Uganda I soon realised that a small amount of money could make a massive difference to people in the developing world and decided to found Change4Change.

Mike Carby

I am a businessman and Chartered Accountant, married with two grown up children and a grandchild, who took the opportunity to retire early after a life-saving liver transplant. With this second chance enabling me to appreciate living, I want to give something back to others. My involvement with Change4Change and also being the Finance Officer for a very active and expanding local Church give me this opportunity.

Julian Stone

Currently I am a Director at Sofon UK Ltd, with a real passion for business, Change4Change allows me to combine my commercial experience with a real desire to see change both in the developing world and closer to home. At 40 with 4 children of my own I am very pleased to be part of something that sees families bought out of poverty in a sustained and
controlled manner.

I first became involved in Change 4 Change in 2008 and quickly realised that whilst the work this charity is already involved in is substantial, the potential of what could be done and the people that could be affected was huge.It was a privilege to be asked to join the Board of Trustees and bring some of my own skills and energy to this charity.I have three young daughters and am a Director of City Glass & Aluminium Ltd.
