Yvonne is the founding director of Pets of the Homeless (POTH). After several years managing and supporting various pet rescue groups, Yvonne started POTH as a passion project in July 2015 to respond to the joint welfare needs of people facing homelessness and their much-loved pets.

As Founder and CEO, Yvonne is considered both the face and the driving force of the organisation, managing POTH’s operations, fundraising, communications and marketing. Her passion for her community and the welfare of others extends beyond POTH, where Yvonne was also a board member of her local community centre.
