Earlier this year, Clive Bellows welcomed Eoin Fitzgerald as incoming Chairperson and new Board Directors Laura Trimble of HSBC and Paul Kilcullen of BNY, both respected figures in the corporate world.
Clive’s charismatic leadership as Chairperson has been exemplary. He grasped immediately the concept of collaboration, and the importance of the industry working together and he has been vitally important in growing trust amongst our corporate base.
Declan O’Sullivan has chaired the Development committee where he worked tirelessly to encourage corporates and individuals to sign up as Individual and Corporate Patrons.

He was instrumental in setting up the funding model with recurring annual donations allowing for sustainable long term investment in education.
The newly restructured Board provides a framework to balance existing expertise and knowledge with fresh input and ideas. The appointment of Eoin Fitzgerald as Chairperson and of Paul and Laura injects renewed energy and diverse perspectives into the board, promising to accelerate growth and expand support for vulnerable children.
