About our staff and some of our volunteers

Alongside our wonderfully active Trustees, the Alice Ruggles Trust staff and an ever-growing number of volunteers help us develop, carry out, and promote many of our wide range of activities.


Victoria Charleston
is our Managing Director.
Victoria has a background in policy and campaigns in and around Westminster and had worked specifically in stalking for three years before coming to our Trust in 2020. She has been instrumental in a number of key successes across the sector including the extension of sentences for perpetrators and the introduction of Stalking Protection Orders.


Grace Wilson is our Community Engagement Coordinator
and also helps with our social media output. She is deeply committed to empowering young minds. Her focus is on recognizing and addressing unhealthy relationship behaviours, particularly stalking. Grace’s role at the Trust includes coordinating our new Durham schools project, which aims to bring education and awareness of the insidious issue of stalking to young people.


Faye Kennedy
is our Administrative Support Officer.
Faye is a recent graduate in Criminology with Forensic Investigation. She has developed a deep passion in wanting to support victims of crime and their loved ones and believes that raising awareness and increasing understanding can truly have a positive impact.

Elena is a student at Durham University studying modern languages. She has a long-standing interest in multi-culturalism and inclusion and a passion for supporting women who have experienced violence. She actively wants to make a difference.
