OUR TEAM

Leo Neelands

Chair of Gambian Children's Fund / Trustee

Leo Neelands is a Visual Effects Artist and Music Producer with an international career spanning film and television. Alongside his creative work, he has a deep personal connection to The Gambian Children’s Fund through his late mother, Eileen, who was instrumental in establishing and nurturing the charity while living in The Gambia. 

Since her passing in 2021, Leo has continued to honour her legacy by supporting the charity’s goal to provide education and opportunities for children in Gambia. 

He brings both creative vision and practical experience to the charity’s work, ensuring it continues to thrive and grow in the years ahead.
