The UKCVFamily Board of Trustees
Charlet Crichton
Founder & Trustee
​
Charlet founded UKCVFamily in 2021, after suffering an adverse reaction to a Covid-19 vaccination herself. Charlet previously ran her own Sports Therapy Clinic and was volunteering at a mass vaccination centre during the Pandemic. Charlet held several voluntary roles, prior to her adverse reaction, including home checking for a dog rehoming charity, helping the homeless and mentoring young refugees. Charlet now dedicates herself to running UKCVFamily and represents the vaccine-injured and -bereaved extensively to NHS bodies, government inquiries, scientists, researchers and politicians.
Caroline Pover
Chair of Trustees
Caroline Pover is a multiple award-winning author, entrepreneur, public speaker, and philanthropist.
After being diagnosed with her own adverse reaction to a Covid vaccine, her writing became more health-focused. She produced the first survival guide for Covid vaccine injury, followed by a health workbook. Worth a Shot? is her eighth book.
Caroline initiated our campaign in early 2022, and has produced most of our written materials, including a 22 page information pack, based on our members experiences. Caroline wrote the Covid Vaccine Adverse Reaction Survival Guide and frequently gives speeches, or talks to media on behalf of UKCVFamily and the vaccine-injured and bereaved community.
