MAJOR UPDATE FROM THE CARDON BANFIELD FOUNDATION
CHIEF EXECUTIVE STEPPING BACK

This evening I have given notice of my intention to resign from the role of Chief Executive Officer.

[Cardon Banfield Foundation archive @CardonBFdn]

However due to personal and professional reasons, it is the right time for me to step back from the role of Chief Executive Officer when a new CEO has been chosen.

I’m not leaving the organisation and I will remain supporting the new leadership when it is in place.

Shocking research unveiled about rough sleeper deaths.

Only 2.45% were reviewed.
Our CEO:

"The lack of reviewing deaths of rough sleepers is a stain on our society and the homeless sector as a whole. We should not & cannot let these people die in vain."
