Lieneke has always been interested in people and cultures. She grew up in the Netherlands and worked in Ghana before coming to the UK in January 2019. Her work in community development has taught her a lot about inequalities and she is passionate to tackle these inequalities and help people to live a healthy and happy life where they reach their full potential. By volunteering for ATRD Lieneke hopes to help to increase the opportunities for people from Black and Asian backgrounds to be part of Trustee Boards.
