Toni Jackson

My name is Toni Jackson and I am a founding trustee and now chair of trustees for Echoes Charity. Most of working life has been in public sector roles, often helping and supporting those with mental health needs and hidden disabilities. I am passionate about providing help and support for those who need it in a way that is accessible for them.

I have a daughter and a step-daughter who are both in their late twenties and it has been a delight to watch then grow and flourish as they have got older, providing help and support as they have tried to deal with life’s obstacles. I have recently started running and am part way through half marathon training – although I do continually ask myself why I am doing this! I love reading and can’t relax to sleep without reading for at least half an hour. I love sci-fi and fantasy novels but have surprised myself recently by embracing crime fiction.
