Who We Are
Meet the Team
Christine Bentham
Co-Founder, Chairperson and Jacob's Little Nanna
It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be part of and to support JUMP Children's Charity. Getting to know the wonderful children and their families who face such uncertainty in their lives and experience limiting opportunities due to illness, continues to be our motivation to help to create and capture precious memorable moments for families.

Kate Jarvis

"I love photographing memories for families to cherish & as a lead photographer for JUMP for almost 20 years I've been lucky enough to meet over 1000 amazing families"

Rob Chaderton
Treasurer/Trustee
"JUMP is a truly inspiring charity and I was honoured to be asked to join as Treasurer & Trustee in December 2019. I'm looking forward to using my expertise to support JUMPs ambition and to helping as many families as possible to benefit from the memories that JUMP creates."
Clare Bouch
Parent Representative/Trustee
"I love being part of JUMP as they’ve supported my family and helped us to feel part of an understanding community of families."
Andrea Machin
Parent Representative/Trustee
"When I heard that Jump was looking for new trustees, I jumped at the chance. We have had memory books and experienced the memory days with our daughter, and I wanted to give something back as Jump is such a unique charity.
I have previous experience of Chairing a successful disabled children's charity for over 15 years and am also a governor at a local special school."
Michelle Mutch
Trustee/Fundraiser
My name is Michelle and a few years ago I started to raise money for local charities. More recently I have started raising money for Jump Children’s Charity via raffles and events. I love supporting this very special charity, who provide lasting memories for very special children. I hope to become more involved now, as I am very proud to have become a trustee.
