The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that supports young people aged 8-24 in rebuilding their confidence after cancer. When treatment ends our work begins, because, for many young people, picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible.Between 2005 and 2019 the number of beneficiaries grew from 25 to over 650.We expanded the age range of those supported from 8 - 17 year of age to 8 - 24 years of age.Introduced a programme to support the siblings of young people with cancer.I drove income growth from £150,000 in 2005 to over £2,100,000 in 2019. Set up a second base in Scotland to expand our services to cover the whole of the UK.Grew the Trust team from 1 to 14 employees and over 200 active volunteers across two UK bases.Introduced a programme to develop young people who had benefited from the Trust’s trips into volunteers.

Gipsy Moth IV is a key part of Britain's national maritime heritage. In September 2004 UKSA announced plans for her full restoration, followed by a 22 month circumnavigation with a crew of young peopleIn 12 months I created a case for support and raised over £1,750,000 from a cold start and with no supporter base, we secured funds from both high net worth individuals and corporate supporters and developed a number of key partnerships for the project.We ran a number of high profile events during this time to raise the profile of the project. These included the Review of the Fleet by Her Majesty the Queen and her return to Greenwich and her inspection by HRH the Princess Royal.
