The Compassion Crew
Simon & Abigail Lloydbottom
Abigail, with her roots in Zambia and South Africa, and Simon, a chartered accountant, are the heart and soul of Big Circle Life. Their unique blend of experiences forms the foundation of our mission. Abigail's deep connection to Africa, combined with Simon's financial acumen, creates a powerful force for positive change. Driven by a shared passion for people and a belief that life is meant to be lived in service of others, this dynamic duo frequently travels to Africa, strengthening bonds and expanding our circle of compassion. As parents to three children, they understand the importance of nurturing the next generation and creating a legacy of generosity.
Together, Abigail and Simon are committed to bridging cultures, empowering communities, and inspiring others to join in our mission. Their vision and dedication continue to be the guiding light for Big Circle Life, reminding us all that in giving, we truly live.
Manuel & Hannah Heinke
Hannah and Manuel, with roots in England and Germany respectively, embody the spirit of Big Circle Life through their unwavering commitment to service and global impact. Their journey began with a two-year mission in the United States, igniting a passion for cross-cultural understanding and community support that continues to shape their lives.
Now proud parents of two children, this dynamic duo balances family life with impactful careers - Hannah in local government and Manuel in finance. Their professional expertise adds invaluable depth to our mission, bridging local insights with global vision.
For over a decade, Hannah and Manuel have been pillars of their local church, their faith serving as a compass for their actions. This same spirit of devotion extends across continents, as they've dedicated more than ten years to supporting communities in Kenya, exemplifying Big Circle Life's commitment to long-term, sustainable change.
Their story is one of purposeful living, where every thread - from local community involvement to international aid - weaves into a beautiful tapestry of compassion and positive impact. Hannah and Manuel remind us that no matter where we are, we can always extend our circle of generosity, creating ripples of change that touch lives near and far.
