Third judge announcement
Our third judge of the Playhouse Challenge is Jane Lancaster, the Chairperson of Birthright Canterbury Trust and a trustee of Birthright NZ. She has been involved with Birthright Canterbury since 2012.
Jane says she is getting involved with the challenge "because it brings together, in a unique way, a playhouse as a symbolic reminder of the shelter needs of our families and the needs of all children to develop and thrive through creative play.”
In her working life, she is a consultant with Catalyst Ltd, which provides independent, specialist advice to companies in the food and agricultural sectors. Jane is also a Board member of Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
