Strands of Hope

Sophie is Managing Director of her Family Office and serves as Chair of the Dahan Family Foundation, where she leads on strategy, investment activity, and the development of its charitable work. She plays a central role in guiding grant-making, building partnerships, and supporting initiatives with a focus on long-term impact.

She studied International Development in the UK, with a focus on the NGO sector, and has been involved in a number of voluntary and strategic projects with charitable organisations. Earlier in her career, Sophie worked with a Netherlands-based company through a period of significant growth, remaining with the business until its eventual acquisition.

Sophie was honoured to be invited to join Strands of Hope as a trustee, having first been introduced to the organisation through its work. She feels a strong personal connection to its mission, particularly in its support of vulnerable young people, and is inspired by the care, empathy, and sense of community that underpin its work.
