Carole Johnson MVO MBE - Treasurer

Following a Law degree, Carole qualified as a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) with Ernst & Young before spending the next decade in professional training. She spent six years living and working in Singapore after which she joined the FCDO in London. She first came across Prisoners Abroad in 2007 as Head of Consular Policy, Prisoners and Human Rights and, struck by the compassion and determination of staff, she has been a supporter since. Through her work she has visited prisons in a number of countries, witnessing first hand the challenges faced by British people incarcerated far from family and friends.

A return to finance as a School Business Manager in 2018 was followed by three years living in India where Carole volunteered with several schools and youth organisations. Having served as treasurer in voluntary roles throughout her working career, Carole is now thrilled to be able to contribute as the treasurer for Prisoners Abroad.

A parent to two adult children, Carole is married and lives in Edinburgh.
