Dr Janet Harris

Acting Chair

Janet is a public health professional who has worked in the field of community organisation for over 30 years.

Jack Czauderna

Jack has been a family doctor for most of his working life. He was a GP in Darnall for nearly 30 years and founded Darnall Well Being over 20 years ago. Jack remains very influenced by the famous ‘Peckham Experiment’ (1935 – 1950) into the nature of health, and felt that it was not enough to treat disease and care for the sick, but that primary care should also have a responsibility for the health of the communities it serves. He was the Chair of Darnall Well Being for a long time, and it has grown and developed to meet the needs of its communities. Jack feels privileged to remain a DWB trustee.

Gina Kalsi

Gina is a priest in the Church of England and is living in Attercliffe, as part of a new Christian community in the area. She is interested in spiritual wellbeing using mindfulness and meditation and is passionate about using creativity and art to develop community and build cohesion.

Mark Gamsu

Mark Gamsu is a professor at Leeds Beckett University and a trustee for Citizens Advice Sheffield. He has an interest in local democracy and health inequalities, working in the field of local health systems, the voluntary sector and active citizenship.
