Our Staff
Simon Weatherbed- Programme Director
"As Programme Director, I am responsible for ensuring the delivery of RTC's work, developing new programmes and for building and maintaining relationships with RTC's partners and funders. Having achieved an MA in Post-war Recovery, I have worked all around the world, including in Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Somalia. My work varies greatly, and has spanned project design and management, strategic planning, coordination, fundraising, research, and education in the contexts of war and post-war transitions."
Joan McGregor - Peace and Conflict Advisor
"I am the Peace and Conflict Advisor at RTC. 
Being South African, I was active in the nonviolent resistance to apartheid and in social reconstruction in the post apartheid era. Before joining the staff of RTC, I worked for 10 years as a freelance trainer and organisational development consultant focusing on community development, human rights and reconciliation within Southern Africa and internationally with NGOs and community based organisations."
Becky Wherrell - Programme Coordinator
"I am the Programme Coordinator at RTC and am responsible for the development and coordination of UK and international programmes. Following the completion of my degree in International Relations, I have worked for voluntary and public organisations within disability support and refugee rights and am a qualified youth worker. I joined the RTC team in December 2006."
Pam Morgan - Finance Assistant
"I joined RTC as Accounts Assistant in 2006. I had been employed in various roles within the finance area mainly in the manufacturing industry. Before that I qualified as a Buyer and took my qualifications with the Institute of Purchasing & Supply. I have always had an interest in humanitarian development and I am really pleased that I can be a part of RTC's work."
Charlie Lunn- Programme Assistant
"As the Programme Assistant I am responsible 
for providing support on all RTC projects and consultancies, including the Conflict Sensitivity Consortium. I have an MA in International Development from the University of Bristol. While I really enjoy working on all RTC's projects around the world, especially my recent trip to Sierra Leone, it is our work in Asia that I am particularly interested in and I hope to develop this interest in the future."
Rob Bason- Website, Consultancy and Programme Support Assistant
"I help other staff with their roles meaning that each day can see me doing something new, but my main responsibilities involve maintaining the website and helping with the programme. I have just finished my MA in Conflict, Development and Security from Leeds University. Having studied the theories behind RTC's work, being able to see them put into practice is an invaluable experience which I am hoping to put into practice myself in the future."
Ed Fox- Fundraising and Administration Assistant
"I joined RTC in 2011, and over the last year I have been involved with fundraising through charitable trusts, as well as providing general administrative support to the RTC team. I am currently studying a BA in International Relations through the Open University, and have found that the experience of working alongside conflict-resolution practitioners adds a valuable extra dimension to my studies."
