Meet our team

It's time to put faces to names!

The support and opportunities we offer our charity partners and employee supporters is only made possible by the commitment shown by each and every member of the ZCT team.

To help you put faces to names, you can learn more about us below, including which team member to contact regarding the various programmes and partnerships we manage.

Important: We do not accept any grant funding applications via email or otherwise, outside of our internal partnership selection process. However, there are other avenues of support available through other organisations, and we wish you luck with your search for funding.
