Japleen Kaur

Japleen is the social inclusion project manager for the Trust; she joined in October 2009. She was born in New Delhi, India and visits home at least once a year, when she is in the UK she misses her dogs terribly. Once upon a time she was practising as a junior ophthalmologist in New Delhi, but decided it was not for her, she did not want to spend the rest of her life looking into other people’s eyes! She was more interested in what goes on in between the ears; she came to UK to do her Masters from the University in Nottingham and also studied community mental health and research.

She worked for a small voluntary organisation in Nottingham after completing her degree, a massive pay cut self inflicted but a huge amount of satisfaction ensued, got involved in a couple of research projects, contributed by her academic background.

She then moved to London to be with her husband and she enjoys going to the movies, reading and writing short stories and poems. Being left handed she thinks that they are a superior species and artistically inclined and basically the best people in the world!
