The CBN Team
Please meet your Cancer Buddies Management Team
 Jan founded CBN back in 2003 so that other people could benefit from her own experience of having somebody who understood what she was going through to talk to while undergoing treatment and thereafter. She has run many other successful MSN websites in the past but wanted to expand on the theme to help and support as many people as possible throughout the world. Jan is married to her childhood sweetheart and soulmate, Colin, and the devoted and very proud mother of two grown-up daughters, Jenny & Joanne. She has over 25 years experience and expertise in all aspects of administration. She is responsible for breathing life into CBN, for its development, continual growth and daily maintenance, for marketing, fundraising, forging links with potential partners and general management of all aspects of the site.She says that she has no doubt that the reason she experienced cancer and came out the other side, was so that she would have the personal experience and drive to bring her dream of Cancer Buddies Network to fruition so that it could benefit as many people as possible.
 Jenny, Jan's daughter, has wholeheartedly supported the team from the beginning by advising on strategy and marketing. She is a key team member setting up systems in which short, medium and long term goals and objectives can be achieved. Jenny is a Development Manager at UK Skills, a government funded charity. Before that she was a Project Manager at a communications agency working on BT’s flagship project which raised over £3million for ChildLine. She has qualifications in marketing, business strategy and project management.
 Ann, a longtime dear friend of Jan's, works in an advisory capacity helping Jan on a weekly basis to maintain the website, brainstorm on grant applications, advise on administrative matters and give input in decisions involving CBN. Ann has run a local neighbourhood care group over several years and obtained charitable status for them. As co-ordinator she attended committee meetings, giving talks to WI and various other groups. She has solid administrative and secretarial experience over 25 years.
 Colin, Jan's husband, advises on many aspects of CBN including finance and marketing.
