Meet our two new Trustees
We are delighted to announce our 2 new Trustees who volunteer their own time to bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge about PR, marketing, brand awareness and all things marcomms! Natalie Walker is a strategic communications and policy leader with more than 20 years’ experience across utilities, parliament, media, and the third sector. Natalie has a proven record of shaping narratives, protecting reputations, and influencing public policy at a national level, and is recognised as a trusted advisor to boards and senior executives. Her career has spanned senior roles at Scottish Water, the Scottish Parliament, and leading national newspapers, where she has led campaigns that achieved measurable behavioural and policy change. As a former health reporter, many of her stories improved the lives of people in need and sparked debate on a range of issues.
David Roberts is a marketing agency leader with a passion for creativity, innovation and inspiring change. This enthusiasm began when he pivoted out of Law, the subject which he studied at University, and took up a graduate position at one of the UK’s most successful marketing agencies. David’s career has seen him work for some the UK’s most exciting agencies, allowing him to shape and champion award winning campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands both in the UK and Internationally.
In 2018 David was invited and honoured to become a Fellow of the Marketing Society. He currently directs an integrated marketing agency based in Edinburgh and Manchester.
Welcome to the team – we hope you enjoy your role with us!
North East News
It’s been another busy Recovery Month week for our North East & Yorkshire Community Coordinator, Jeni Langley. She was delighted to be invited along to recovery events at HMP Holme House and HMP Frankland and have the opportunity to chat about the SMART Recovery and Inside Out Programmes with all attendees. Then, last Saturday, the Newcastle Recovery Walk and Festival took place in the city centre where (despite the awful weather) the turnout was great and a fantastic time was had by everyone!
