About Shepa

We’re Lucy and Julian, co-founders of Shepa.

With decades of experience across charities, corporates, and international organisations, we help leaders navigate complexity, strengthen governance, and deliver lasting impact — always rooted in faith-based values.

How Shepa began

We created Shepa after seeing the same challenges repeated across charities: blurred roles, stuck decision-making, and leaders left carrying too much on their own. We knew there was a better way - drawing on our combined experience in governance, strategy, and values-based leadership, we built Shepa to make clear strategy and good governance accessible, practical, and inspiring.
