NICHOLAS ASHLEY-COOPER, 12th EARL OF SHAFTESBURY – PATRON
In Jolly Good Company is a vital initiative bringing people together and building stronger communities. Isolation and loneliness affects us all, whether we live in the countryside or in urban areas, and it’s fantastic the team are helping people to overcome this. I am very proud to be supporting it.
SARAH RAMPTON – DIRECTOR
I feel so lucky to live in Wimborne St Giles and be part of this caring community. It’s great to share the benefits of being in this beautiful village with you. I’m so happy at the success of the Jollys and that we can enjoy more beautiful places together such as Kingston Lacy, Blandford and Shaftesbury. This year Jolly TV has been an unexpected bonus and a fantastic family collaboration.
KATE SHERIDAN – CO-DIRECTOR
I live in Wimborne with my lovely husband and son. I’m a Business Administrator and a Piano Teacher and I use my musical skills to entertain people in residential homes which I really enjoy. I have known Sarah for twenty eight years and I am very happy to be bringing my expertise to this exciting community-centred company.
JULIA SAFE - CO-DIRECTOR
My family roots are in Dorset and I’ve lived here myself for 30 years as Director of Larmer Tree Festival. I’m now able to spend more time on my own creative pursuits such as floristry and growing cut flowers on my allotment. I’m delighted that I have time to support Sarah in this incredibly worthwhile company.
JENNY HANSON - CO-DIRECTOR
I’m the book keeper for St Giles farms and Shaftesbury Estates and the founder member of the village book club. I’ve lived here for twenty six years and am the Treasurer of the Hall Committee. Wimborne St Giles is a peaceful, beautiful village which is home to a great mix of people.
PENNY SYDALL - CO-DIRECTOR
I lived in Wimborne St Giles since 2009 and before that my girls were at school here. I work in local government public relations and am a strong believer in using Dorset’s beautiful environment to stimulate all our lives. I am thrilled to help Sarah provide this new opportunity in our village.
