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.
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.
It has truly been an honour and privilege to found and lead this organisation and I want to thank everyone past and present for your help, support, cooperation and work.
More details will be posted soon.

Founder and outgoing Chief Executive

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."
