Our Challenges Team

Jas first got involved with Dig Deep in 2020 when she signed up to be the Team Leader for the Loughborough University Kilimanjaro team. Whilst studying at Loughborough, she took on 5 charity challenges, so has lots of advice for our fundraisers.

After graduating, Jas spent a year working as the Rag Chair at Loughborough Students’ Union. This involved overseeing all charitable activity across the campus, leading to over £500,000 being raised for charity in the 2022/23 academic year.

Katherine Sedgwick is passionate about building partnerships. Having held senior commercial roles in the chemical Industry for many years Katherine has recently taken the leap into the charity sector building partnerships which are helping 1 million people get access to clean water.

Simon joined Dig Deep in 2017 after completing a PhD in Sports, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham. 

During his PhD, he fundraised for Dig Deep by taking on our Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya challenges in 2014 and 2015 respectively raising over £5000 in the process.

Simon is responsible for managing the finances of the organisation as well as organising and delivering our challenge events.

He climbed Kilimanjaro for the second time in 2019 where he proposed to his wife at the summit!

Sam first heard about Dig Deep back in 2020 when he signed up with his sister for Kilimanjaro, summiting in 2022. Since graduating, he went on to work for Dig Deep after experiencing the shared sense of achievement and the rewarding feeling of aiding a fantastic cause. As a part of his role, he’s been up and down the country recruiting large teams across different universities and supporting their fundraising efforts.

Sam has also worked for marketing brands and as an ambassador and volunteer in the third sector.
