Gemma Beecroft
Charity Coordinator
I joined JGFC in July 2017 as a volunteer after finishing university. I always wanted to get involved with the charity after seeing how amazing it was through the work of my sister Amie and Step Mum Sare who were both already involved. When I met the rest of the team, I knew that this was a place I wanted to be and was made to feel welcome from day 1. I initially volunteered at the Chesterfield club, the Fun Sports club and also the nightclub event whenever I could and was delighted when a few months down the line I was offered the role of lead support worker at Whitwell and Sports. When we opened our newest club in Dronfield in December 2019 I was honoured to be the one to run this club and I am so happy to see how our members have grown in confidence and have made it an amazing club. In September 2019 I was given another fantastic opportunity with the organization to be able to be involved in the office with all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make this club so great. I am the newest full-time employee of the club and I am loving my new role as Charity Coordinator! I cannot wait to see Just Good Friends Club continue to expand and reach out to more and more people to continue to make a difference.
