Having worn many hats since she joined the charity in 2008, Diane was appointed Chief Executive of TOFS in 2019 after an extensive strategy review process by the trustees.
“It’s a real privilege to work for TOFS and contribute to the great work achieved by the trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters over many years to improve the lives of babies born unable to swallow.”
Jayne has worked for the charity for over 20 years and is responsible for the day to day running of the TOFS office.
“Over the years, I have met with and spoken to so many wonderful OA/TOFs and their families. It’s such a great feeling to know that I, along with my colleagues, have been able to offer help and support to those affected with the OA/TOF condition.”
Peter joined the TOFS team in 2021 and is responsible for helping us to grow our digital presence via our website, social media and digital channels. As well as his experience in digital marketing and website management, Peter also has a wide range of general marketing knowledge to draw upon.
Peter has some experience of TOFS as his daughter was born with OA/TOF.
“As a parent of a TOF teenager, I have experienced first hand the work the charity does. From the knowledge sheets that helped inform my daughter’s school of her condition to the advice on the Facebook page, I have found the support offered by TOFS to be invaluable. – which I am sure will come in useful in helping to share all the great work we do at TOFS.”
Hayley joined TOFS in 2025 and provides pastoral help to members, supports our TLCs and manages member events.
Hayley is a parent of a child born with OA/TOF
“I’m thrilled to be joining the TOFS team as Membership support and events officer. When my son was born with OA/TOF, discovering the TOFS charity, the website and the community was such a welcome relief and fantastic support. It’s been great to see the charity grow over the years and I’m excited for what’s to come in its future. It is a real privilege to be a part of it.”
Charlotte joined us in 2025 with more than a decade of experience from the corporate sector. She will be guiding our teams through the publication of two exciting new TOFS books, supporting the Chew Magazine editorial team and helping us gain PIF Tick accreditation.
When she’s not busy running after her three young children – one of whom was born with OA/TOF/VACTERL Association – she enjoys DIY, travel and Italian food.
“TOFS has been a huge form of support and community for me personally – especially in the first year or two after my eldest child was born with VACTERL. By joining the TOFS team I’m excited to give something back to that wonderful community.”
