The CCC FOUNDATION TEAM

Our team at the CCC Foundation has a passion for learning and education. Each member has a personal connection to how education has shaped their life and why they believe it is so important. It’s our purpose to provide those in need with our combined energy and effort, so that others may experience the magic of learning.

Susan Johns – Trustee and Founder

Susan Johns

Susan is the founder of the CCC Foundation.  She has had a successful career in investment management, and worked for a family office in London managing their equity portfolios.  Susan’s financial experience got her into thinking how she could use her knowledge to help those less fortunate than herself.  Through her research she found that everything always came back to education, and raising the aspirations and learning outcomes for children from an early age.

Susan feels incredibly honoured to work with a team that has such a wealth of talent and experience.  She looks forward to growing and expanding the charity, and to make a positive change in the lives of as many underprivileged children as possible.
