We’re pleased to introduce ourselves as the new fundraising team at Vault Youth Zone. As a team, we’re passionate about building strong partnerships and working alongside our amazing supporters to create real opportunities for young people here in Preston. Between us, we bring a mix of experience, energy and fresh perspectives, and we’re focused on growing Vault’s impact while keeping our founder patrons connected to the difference their support makes.
We’re really looking forward to meeting each of you, hearing your ideas and sharing our plans for the year ahead.

WHY WE’RE HERE
GABY INGHAM, HEAD OF FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNICATIONS
What excites me most is seeing the opportunities Vault will create for young people locally. We’re giving them a safe space to learn, grow, and connect in ways that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. From developing confidence and employability skills to building friendships and accessing mentoring, Vault will have a real, tangible impact on lives. I’m also excited about how it will bring the city together, businesses, families, and community organisations all playing a role in connecting the dots in Preston. Being part of something that leaves a lasting legacy for the city’s future is incredibly motivating, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead of us in the next 12 months and many years after that.
MEL KILLILEA, PHILANTHROPY MANAGER
What’s driving me is the chance to make a difference to young lives – big opportunities, small incremental gains, anything that helps them on their individual journeys. I’m looking forward to forging close partnerships with Preston businesses so they can see and feel the real impact they can make for the next generation.
