My name is Jill Coe. In this photo I’m joined by my late husband, David, who was Chairman for the PCT UK. We joined the charity as Trustees when it was first established in 1992. I’m lucky to have visited Peru a number of times and really enjoy seeing the benefits of the great work we do and how this makes a difference to many lives.

My name is Carlos Troncoso. I am originally from Spain but have lived in the UK since 2007 with my wife, son and daughter. I have been a PCT UK Trustee since 2018 and I’m in charge of updating our database of children and sponsors, and of the correspondence with sponsors.

My name is Catherine Hennessy and I’m the newest member of the PCT UK, responsible for company secretarial duties and communications. I joined as a Trustee in 2022 after visiting Huancayo and being blown away by the great work that the charity is doing, but also struck by the stark poverty and lack of opportunities in the smaller towns of The Andes. I live and work in London.
