About us

The Macquaker family has founded the Jasmine Foundation in memory of our daughter Jasmine. We aim to use this as a platform to assist others in need, to provide a resource for information around adolescent depression, to help reduce suicide and do all we can to help others.

  • Sarah is co-founder of the Jasmine Foundation, married to Charlie. Jasmine was their eldest child, and older sister to Sasha, Flora and Edward. The family and their animals grew up in the countryside surrounded by the Pentland Hills.

    Sarah has worked with Charlie to understand the complex nature of childhood depression and the fragility of young minds. She is a trustee of Richmond’s Hope the children’s bereavement charity and has volunteered for the Super Power Agency in Edinburgh in addition to being a friend and fundraiser of the Mental Health Foundation.

  • Charlie is Executive Director of Investment at the Edinburgh based global investment management firm Walter Scott. Having joined the business in 1991, he has held a range of investment management, client service and governance responsibilities. He is also on the board of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and for over 10 years was a Trustee of the Orcome Trust based in the Pentlands. Charlie is keen to help others in their research, support and advice around the Jasmine Foundation.
