Today marks my last day as Chief Executive of RSPCA (England & Wales). I'm incredibly proud of all that we have achieved together during my six and a half years as the CEO of this amazing charity which transforms the lives of animals every day. Here's my last post before I join NSPCC ๐


Congratulations to National Trust on the launch of their inspiring and ambitious 10-year strategy. Fantastic to see the focus on restoring nature and connecting people with heritage and nature. Brilliant!

Incredible to see our CEO Mark Russell (he/him) giving evidence to parliament about the Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill, with mention of the national wellbeing measure that will help transform the wellbeing of so many children.

On behalf of Barnardoโs The Children's Society National Children's Bureau NSPCC & Action for Children I gave evidence to the Childrenโs Wellbeing & Schools Bill Committee yesterday. At the heart of calls is big investment in early help to shift the dial, to centre childrenโs voices & join up services.


As part of her visit to Brussels, HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh The Royal Family alongside Ambassador Lindsay Appleby met leading child safety NGOs to discuss innovative strategies to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. #endCSEA
