Who’s new
Joanne Bunce Kingaby
I’m absolutely delighted to have joined Befriended as Finance Coordinator, where I’ll be looking after donations expenses and all things finance! My career has taken me from international banking to education and local government, so I’m bringing a range of experiences to my new role. It’s a real privilege to be part of such an amazing and worthwhile charity, and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
Outside of work, I’m a boat-dweller, newlywed and proud dog mum to Benny and Luna! I love living by the sea, getting lost in a good book, heading out for walks with the dogs and, whenever I can, packing a bag and heading off to explore somewhere new. I’m really looking forward to meeting friends of Befriended, joining in with activities, and getting to know the wonderful people who make Befriended so special.

We are delighted to announce our support for Befriended.
After meeting with Gail and hearing her inspiring story, as well as learning more about the invaluable work Befriended does to support people across the community, it became clear that our values are closely aligned. Care, compassion, and a strong community focus are at the heart of both organisations, and with Claire Nash Solicitors and Befriended both celebrating our 10th anniversaries next year, it felt like the perfect time to begin this partnership.
Community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that being a law firm means more than delivering legal services – it means supporting the people, causes, and organisations around us. We actively invest our time, resources, and expertise into initiatives that create a meaningful and lasting positive impact, and we are proud to be partnering with Befriended as we work together to help make a lasting difference in our local community.
