Board of Trustees

Heldiney Pereira (Chair)

Heldiney is a Lead Product Designer at Monzo Bank, a volunteer Branch Director at Samaritans Waltham Forest, and a Trustee of the Sujata Banerjee Dance Company. His work brings together design, mental health and community leadership, with a focus on creating human‑centred outcomes that support a more equitable society.

At Monzo, he has helped shape core experiences for millions of customers and contributed to the growth of a thriving design and research team. He brings this same commitment to impact to his voluntary work: at Samaritans, he leads a branch of around one hundred volunteers, guiding strategy, operations and community engagement.

A mentor, speaker and advocate for inclusive creative practice, Heldiney is passionate about widening access to the design industry and empowering people at earlier stages of their careers. He also co‑founded Flynt, a platform designed to help people feel more connected and supported in their professional journeys.

A committed advocate for cultural inclusion, Rajib brings a thoughtful, values‑driven approach to his trusteeship, helping organisations create environments where creativity and community can thrive.

Bhavisha Mehta

SBDC is an accomplished charitable organisation, bringing South Asian dance to the forefront of the dance arena through its varied set of activities. Being involved as both a student and trustee for more than seven years, I have been proud to see SBDC undertake and successfully deliver a number of innovative projects ranging from traditional performance to collaborative projects as well as leading-edge events such as a 12-hour dance marathon. Having personally commenced learning Kathak at the age of 24, I firmly believe it truly is never too late to learn this multi-dimensional, intricate dance form.

The team of trustees meet regularly to review achievements and learnings, brainstorm new ideas and strategically plan the company’s direction. As a management consultant by profession, I thoroughly enjoy bringing new ideas and concepts to the table and working with a talented group of individuals to help maximise the Company’s performance and deliver against our mission statement in everything we do.
