An Extensive Contribution to the Charitable Sector

He retired after 20 years as YouthNet’s Chairman in 2015, and remains an adviser to the charity (now merged with Get Connected under the new name The Mix).

He campaigns regularly for more coverage of the achievements of the voluntary sector in the national media, and, more generally, for “solutions-driven journalism” or Constructive Journalism.
