As we approach International Women's Day, it's important to recognise and celebrate the remarkable contributions of women in the charity sector. Women constitute a significant portion of the workforce in this field, with two-thirds of UK charity employees being female. However, leadership roles still show a gender disparity, with only 34% of the largest UK charities having a female CEO.
Inspirational Women In the Charity Sector
Despite these challenges, numerous women have made significant impacts through their leadership and dedication. Here are a few examples:
Hilary Evans-Newton: As the CEO of Alzheimer's Research UK, Hilary has transformed the organisation into Europe's leading funder of dementia research. Her leadership has been instrumental in advancing research and advocacy in this important field.
April Benson: Serving as the Director of Services at Aylesbury Women’s Aid, April has developed innovative programmes for women and girls, raising awareness of domestic abuse. Her leadership has been particularly impactful during challenging times, such as the pandemic.
Sarah Woolnough: As the CEO of Asthma + Lung UK, Sarah has been a driving force in advocating for respiratory health, leading initiatives to support those affected by lung conditions.
