Two New Directors Appointed to Fulcrum Aid Board
Simon Uppill and Dr Julie Robinson have been appointed as Fulcrum Aid Directors.
The Board of Fulcrum Aid will benefit from the knowledge and experience brought by it's newest members, Simon Uppill and Dr Julie Robinson.
Simon has a degree in Development Studies through Adelaide University including courses on poverty, gender and conflict. His concern for the disadvantaged has led Simon to volunteer with prison support programs, and work with Servants in Vancouver supporting people with mental illness, addictions and homelessness. His exploration of restorative communities has led him on a journey through remote Australia and India. Simon has a background in sports retail management and is currently employed as a school chaplain in Adelaide's southern suburbs.
Dr Julie Robinson is the Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Flinders University. In her role as a developmental psychologist she has specialised in resilience in situations of adversity. Julie has had extensive experience with refugees and other disadvantaged communities in the developing world through research, supervision and lecturing. In 2014 she was co-convenor of an intensive training program on maternal and child health for staff from diverse East African government departments and NGOs that was funded through the Australia Leadership Awards Fellowships program.
