Farewell to Jenny Seagrove

Wednesday 13th November, 2024

After many years of supporting Challengers, Jenny Seagrove is stepping down from her role as Patron.

An esteemed actress known for her memorable TV and film performances in Judge John Deed, Another Mother’s Son, A Woman of Substance and Local Hero, Jenny’s connection to Challengers has been deeply valued and we are so grateful for the public support she has shown the charity over the years. 

Alongside her role as Patron, Jenny has dedicated her time to championing the welfare of animals through founding her charity Mane Chance Sanctuary in Compton, Guildford. The sanctuary rescues abused and abandoned horses and engages them in therapeutic work in the community, including work with disabled children and young people.  

On behalf of everyone at Challengers, we wish Jenny all the best as she continues to make a difference to the community through her work – thank you Jenny!
