A former King’s High parent, nurse and BBC reporter, Jill set up the charity Kissing it Better with a friend in 2009, and is its Chief Executive. Using her married name (Samuda), she is also a Deputy Lieutenant of Warwickshire. KiB works to end the isolation of old age by bringing the generations together. Older King’s High pupils were the first to work with the charity as part of their Friday afternoon activities.

'I am touched and honoured to be asked to be a founding fellow of the Landor Association. I feel a strong connection with King's High School, both through my family, and through the work we do at Kissing it Better. I'm excited to see how the Association develops the important links between the school and the community.'
