Meet The Team
Richard Kennell
Chair of Trustees
I came to Didcot in 1995 to take up a senior role with Didcot Sixth Forms, where I worked for 5 years. My subsequent roles included working with the partnership of local schools and developing/running education programmes for disengaged/disadvantaged young people. In 2014 I founded SOFEA, providing education, training and wellbeing support to local people disadvantaged in the labour market through our food redistribution enterprise. We work with over 200 people each year and the staff team has now grown to 60. Recently we have developed our role supporting the local community to include the Community Larder, CAMHS and social prescribing work.
Jackie Logan
Trustee
Was an Oxfordshire County Council youth worker, specialising in young people with challenging behaviours and completing a 2-year certificate in counselling at Abingdon and Witney College. During this time, I also worked in the learning support department at St Birinus School. I started at Soha in 2004 as a Scheme Manager working with older people, moving into a community development role two years later. In 2013, I was seconded part time to South Oxfordshire District Council and one of the communities I worked with was Great Western Park, ensuring the Neighbourhood Centre was what the community wanted and setting up the residents’ association. My current role at Soha is Resident Engagement and Communities Manager. I am also a Trustee at the Berin Centre in Berinsfield.
