Date posted: 18th March 2026

Thomas Pocklington Trust has announced the appointment of three new trustees, strengthening its board with a wealth of experience across talent development, psychology and artificial intelligence.

Jamie Ward, Head of Talent and Learning at Channel 4, brings decades of expertise in helping people thrive at work. With a career spanning the BBC and major global organisations, plus a PhD in organisational behaviour, Jamie is also a passionate advocate for the VI community following his own sight loss three years ago.

Sarah Miloudi, a former City regulator turned coaching psychologist, joins the board with deep insight into careers, financial wellbeing and behavioural coaching. A former journalist and award‑winning investment commentator, she brings a sharp analytical eye and a commitment to empowering others.

Ramneek Ahluwalia, an AI researcher at UCL, adds cutting‑edge technical expertise. As a visually impaired student and dedicated volunteer within the Trust’s community, she has championed policy change in Parliament and gained international recognition for her work, including winning Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow Competition and serving as a ‘Together for Tomorrow’ Ambassador at Paris 2024.

Mervyn Williamson, Chair of Trustees, said ‘We are thrilled to welcome three new Trustees whose combined knowledge will add to our lived experience led approach in tackling key issues of blind and partially sighted people and to the strengths of an impressive Board at Thomas Pocklington Trust.’
