Nursery World - 4Children appoints new chief executive

Imelda Redmond will take over as 4Children’s new chief executive at the beginning of next month.

She replaces the charity’s current chief executive Anne Longfield who has been appointed as the next children’s commissioner for England.

Ms Redmond, who was awarded a CBE in the New Years Honours list 2010 for social care, has worked in the voluntary sector for more than 20 years.

In the 1980s she worked with disabled children before becoming chief executive of Carers UK. She is the current director of public affairs for Marie Curie Cancer Care, as well as chair of the British Gas Energy Trust.

Pip O’Byrne, chair of 4Children, said, ‘I am delighted that Imelda is joining 4Children at such an important time for children and families across the country. She brings a wealth of experience in the charity sector and a record of success in achieving positive change. 4Children has ambitious plans for the future and is thrilled to have Imelda spearheading our work.
