Dani Mitchell  – My name is Dani, and I am a dedicated trustee for the East Sussex Recovery Alliance. In my role, I work closely with individuals affected by substance misuse, offering guidance and support as they navigate the challenges of recovery. I am passionate about helping people regain control of their lives, particularly by providing advice on managing financial difficulties.

Having seen the impact financial instability can have on individuals in recovery, I focus on offering tailored solutions to help people manage their budgets, access resources, and build a sustainable financial foundation. My work is driven by compassion, understanding, and a deep commitment to empowering others to achieve independence and long-term recovery.

Through my role, I aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support, helping them overcome obstacles and rebuild their confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

Jackie Travis – With over 30 years of dedicated experience in Human Resources, Jackie brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our Board. Now retired, Jackie has transitioned from her successful HR career into a role that allows her to contribute to the community in new and meaningful ways. Her passion for giving back and making a difference led her to become a Trustee with our organisation.

Jackie is committed to ensuring that the organisation operates effectively and continues to have a positive impact on those it serves. In addition to serving as a Trustee with us, Jackie also contributes to another local charity, further demonstrating her dedication to community service.

Outside of her charitable work, Jackie is an avid outdoors enthusiast. She enjoys walking, spending time with her dog, playing tennis and engaging in various outdoor pursuits. Her commitment to both professional excellence and community service makes her a valuable asset to our team.

Charlie Dix – I work for Lloyds Banking Group in their Transport division and I am responsible for Corporate relationships and project management as well as supporting the Lloyds Foundation works for Charities and Volunteering. I  joined the ESRA trustee board in September 2023 after undertaking work with ESRA on a best practice session. I live with my family, 2 horses and 1 cat in Essex.
