Dan Broadfield (Director of Finances and Project Leader)
Hi! I'm Dan Broadfield, a third year at Cardiff University studying economics. Along with Alastair I am one of the veterans of the current SIFE Cardiff team, having experienced the rebuilding of the team from October 2008 as well as our success in April! I like to fill my spare time with a variety of sporting activities, particularly football at the moment as I am managing an IMG football team at Cardiff University. I was heavily involved in Your Uni Co-op last year and I hope to busy myself with the Co-op and many more new projects this coming year!
Dan is responsible for managing the finances of SIFE Cardiff and is the project leader responsible for consultancy being carried out with Education Towards a Future.

Robert Croucher (Director of Human Resources and Project Leader)
I'm a third year student at Cardiff University, where I am reading Philosophy. I'm one of these people that like to keep busy and I have a habit of taking on too much! I have been a part of the corporate set-up at SIFE Cardiff since April 2009 having previously been a part of a SIFE team that performed a consultancy project at a homeless centre in Cardiff. I have set up a charity called 'Edtaf' that provides scholarships for Kenyans to go to University in Nairobi (for more information go to www.edtaf.org). I play hockey for the University and like to keep fit with other sporting activities too. In general, I enjoy working hard but I like to play a little harder! Rob has taken responsibility for the Human Resources at SIFE Cardiff and is project leader for the Fund Raising and Event Management Course.

Lisa Wilson-Doyle (Director of Marketing and PR)
Hello! Im Lisa, a fairly new member to SIFE Cardiff, joining in March 2009. I initially had an interest in taking part in the college events that SIFE undertake in Cardiff but it soon snowballed from then on, having the privellage of joining the team in their success in April 2009. I am now looking forward to a much bigger role and excited about the projects for SIFE this year. I am a 2nd year student in Business Management at Cardiff and enjoy getting involved with activities, sports and generally keeping my calender full! I am a very social and lively person and can't wait to get stuck in next year with the rest of the team.
Lisa has taken responsibility for the marketing and promotion of SIFE Cardiff.

Charity Yan (Secretary and Project Leader)
Hello, I'm Charity- the newest member of the SIFE team and a second year student at Cardiff studying Language and Communication. I come from Hong Kong, a city best known for its skyline and action hero- Jackie Chan! I enjoy leading an active lifestyle, with plenty to do or organize all year round. As a member of the English netball team, ActionAid society, university choir and more, time is a scarce commodity in my world! I look forward to yet another busy year at Cardiff, and working with the rest of the team on the coming projects.
Charity is the team leader for the Fund Raising and Management Internship, and we are hoping to persuade her to act as the secretary for SIFE for 2009-2010.
