After 17 years in the banking sector, Janet felt the need for a change. The opportunity to join the UÉBFC then arose. She became engaged as a Partnerships Development Officer and in the ministry of generosity, aiming to encourage others to reflect more on generosity and to understand that fundraising is not just about soliciting financial donations. For Janet, it is about recognizing that everything comes from God and wanting to love Him back with the resources He has so graciously given us.
