Life coach and trainer Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is a trustee of two charities.
28 year old Nana was born in the UK, but brought up in Ghana. She came back to the UK nine years ago and, with a group of friends, was inspired to set up the Korle-Bu Family Fund. The London based charity helps children in Ghana, whose parents who are from deprived backgrounds, with their medical care.
"We raise awareness, and money, so that we can help reduce the numbers of kids left in hospital when they should be home”.
Nana is also on the management board of the LASER Global Dimensions Consortium, a charity which works to help every child access a truly global education – exploring the connections between local and global issues.
"Myself and other trustees are liaising with the QCA exam organisation, to get pupils to explore the wider world in more detail. Kids are entitled to understand their role in the world and we work hard to make schools expand children’s horizons.”

"I’m a trustee at CAN, the national social enterprise that supports socialbusinesses. In my day job I help organisations turn themselves around, and increase their revenue and productivity. As a trustee, I take that experience and offer financial guidance to CAN. It’s important not to do the work for them; it’s an overseeing role, which is vital to the organisation. I’m always urging people with similar skills to ‘get on board’ and become trustees."
