Rachel Jones

Rachel joined the Foundation in July 2026, bringing extensive experience from the third sector, local government, Welsh Government and the NHS. Throughout her career, she has worked across end-of-life care, health and social care integration, early intervention and prevention, and neighbourhood partnerships. She has led major programmes and service redesign, supported organisations through periods of change, and worked closely with voluntary and community groups to build confidence, strengthen collaboration and create lasting impact.

Alongside her role at the Foundation, Rachel is an Independent Board Member of Cadarn Housing Group in South Wales and a Trustee of Platfform, a Welsh charity championing trauma-informed, community-based approaches to mental health and system change.

Based in Cardiff, Rachel is passionate about social justice, community-led change and strengthening the third sector. She is committed to building strong partnerships across Wales that help grow community power and support people and communities to thrive.

Outside of work, Rachel enjoys travelling and recently achieved a long-held ambition of visiting Borneo to see orangutans in the wild.
