OUR TEAM

Chris Steel

Treasurer / Trustee

Chris is a CIMA-qualified accountant with over 30 years of experience in the consumer goods industry, where he has held a variety of senior finance roles. Throughout his career, he has developed a strong skill set in financial management, planning, and strategy, which he is now eager to apply in a way that gives back to the community.

Driven by a desire to make a positive impact beyond the corporate world, Chris joined the Gambian Children’s Fund to contribute his expertise to a cause close to his heart: improving children’s access to education. He believes that education is the foundation of opportunity, and by helping to strengthen the school in The Gambia, he hopes to play a small part in giving children the chance to build brighter futures.

For Chris, supporting the school and watching it grow over time is not only professionally rewarding but also personally fulfilling. He values being part of a team that shares a common goal of making a lasting difference in the lives of young people.
