Annabelle Charman – Annabelle is Divisional Chief Operating Officer of Close Brothers Property Finance and a member of the Group Charity Committee, which is how she first encountered Dogs for Good and learnt about the life changing work they do for their clients. Annabelle had been seeking a trustee role with a charity which shared her core values and Dogs for Good was the perfect fit, with dog welfare at the heart of everything they do. As a trustee she strives to use her skills and expertise to support and maintain the quality and high standards of service which the charity provides to all of its clients.
Throughout her childhood and teenage years, Annabelle helped to train and care for several of her own pet dogs and truly understands the happiness and unconditional companionship which a dog can provide. In her spare time, Annabelle enjoys long distance running and competes in various events throughout the year.
