Ellie Sandercock
Ellie joined Cattanach in early 2024 as Fund Programmes Manager. She brings a wealth of grantmaking experience and a passion for ensuring children have the best possible start in life to the role.
Ellie began her career in international development and worked in West Africa for a number of years, managing community development programmes and securing grant funding. Since returning to Scotland, she has worked for a range of third sector organisations in fundraising, marketing, and grantmaking roles. She has extensive experience of being on both sides of the funding relationship and is passionate about building effective partnerships to help deliver lasting social change.
Ellie holds a BSocSc in Social Anthropology and MA in Development Studies from the University of Manchester, and an MSc in Grantmaking, Philanthropy and Social Investment from the Centre for Charity Excellence at Bayes Business School in London.
Outside of work, Ellie keeps fit by running around after her three children and lifting weights at the gym. She loves family days out, which usually involve muddy walks, playparks and trips to cafes for hot chocolate or ice cream.
