Since 2017, Francine has been coordinating the global <strong>Keychange Pledge for Gender Equality<\/strong> which has secured over 500 music festival and organisation signatories. An experienced music consultant and music export expert, Francine\u2019s work outside of Keychange includes delivering projects for Nordic Music Export and Deezer. She will retain strategic oversight of the Keychange Pledge while taking over many of the roles carried out by UK Project Management predecessor, Maxie Gedge.<\/p>\n<p>Keychange\u2019s Communications Assistant, <strong>Aysha Hussain<\/strong> also expands her role. An experienced freelancer in the creative industries, particularly in film and music, Aysha is based between London and Berlin. With a lived experience and consciousness of diversity and inclusion at the core of whatever she does, Aysha&#8217;s work with Film London and Keychange has naturally aligned with this, alongside her love for the arts. She will retain her roles as Communications Assistant for Keychange Core Partner <em>Musikcentrum \u00d6st while <strong>working part-time for PRS Foundation as Keychange Coordinator (UK),<\/strong> enabling her to work more closely with Francine and the collaborative Core Partnership teams in the UK, Germany and Sweden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alison Williams<\/strong> will widen her <strong>PRS Foundation role from part-time to full-time Communications Coordinator<\/strong> and increase her responsibilities in the communications team. Alison\u2019s background is in film at Film London and venue management including Walthamstow Assembly Hall.\u00a0 She most recently worked on the Borough of Culture for the London Borough of Waltham Forest as well as producing the acclaimed Moomin Exhibition at the William Morris Gallery and Walthamstow Wetlands.<\/p>\n<p>Following the huge increase in demand for PRS Foundation support in the last 18 months, <strong>Barnaby Duff<\/strong> joins PRS Foundation\u2019s Grants Team as <strong>Grants Coordinator<\/strong>.\u00a0 Barnaby joins the organisation from Help Musicians UK where he was Creative Programmes Officer delivering a wraparound support package for the MOBO HMUK Fund as well as playing a role in 2020 Hardship Fund. Additionally, he is a freelance assessor for Youth Music and has UK-wide experience in music grant funding for independent artists and as an independent music supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe Frankland, CEO of PRS Foundation said<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI am delighted to welcome Francine, Aysha, Alison and Barnaby to their new and expanded roles at PRS Foundation. Following the departure of Maxie Gedge who worked across both Keychange as a project manager and our Communications team as a part-time Coordinator it\u2019s fantastic that both Francine and Alison are expanding their current remits with the organisation and Aysha steps into a wider role that epitomises the collaborative, Europe-wide ethos of Keychange. And following a period of record-demand for our funds, Barnaby will play a vital role in making sure we maintain a pioneering approach to grant-making, efficiently reaching and helping as many talented music creators to fulfil their potential as possible. The skills, dedication and knowledge in their respective areas will be a huge asset to the organisation going forward.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI and the whole PRS Foundation team wish Maxie the best in her new role at Secretly Group. <\/em><em>The impact of Maxie\u2019s work at PRS Foundation over the past 5 years has been huge and through Keychange she has really helped to move the dial for women and gender minority artists and innovators around the world. While all at PRS Foundation and Keychange are sad to see her go, we will continue to connect and know that in this exciting new role at Secretly Group, Maxie will continue to shape a stronger, fairer music industry.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRS Foundation announces staff moving into expanded roles and a new appointment &nbsp; Francine Gorman increases her remit to become Keychange Project Manager (UK), Aysha Hussain widens role to include Keychange Coordinator (UK) and Alison Williams to move from part-time to full-time Communications Coordinator for PRS Foundation Barnaby Duff appointed PRS Foundation Grants Coordinator \u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":26703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[574,223,75],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
