Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation

Arts funder the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation has appointed Rebecca Lloyd as its next director.

She takes over at the funder, which supports arts education and creative opportunities, from Sarah Miller, who has led the Foundation for more than 15 years.

Lloyd is a former head of grant-giving and philanthropy at King Charles’ foundation, now called the King Charles III Charitable Fund. She also worked at the Masonic Charitable Foundation as its head of charity grants for three years until July last year.

In addition, she has been grants director at the National Philanthropic Trust UK.

"We are delighted to welcome Rebecca to the Foundation,” said Andrew Lloyd Webber and his wife Madeleine.

“Her wealth of experience in philanthropy and strategic grant-making will be invaluable as we look to build on our work and reach even more young people in the years ahead.

“We also want to pay tribute to Sarah Miller, whose dedication and leadership have been instrumental in shaping the Foundation and everything it has achieved.”

Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR)

Pauline Radcliffe has been appointed chair of Scottish charity regulator OSCR. She begins her four year term from the start of December.

She is a former Scottish Government policy advisor in tertiary education and has been involved with the charity sector for more than 30 years.

Her appointment was announced by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and Housing, Shirley-Anne Somerville MSP

Money and Mental Health Policy Institute

Money saving expert Martin Lewis’ charity the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute has promoted its deputy chief executive Conor D’Arcy to the top role.

Two years ago he spent a year as the charity’s interim chief executive, and he has also served as its head of research and policy.

Prior to joining the charity, he worked at the Resolution Foundation, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

He will transition into the chief executive role from next month, replacing outgoing CEO Helen Undy.

“Our succession planning has always focused on developing talent – Conor has all the qualities we need to take the organisation forward – and it’s the perfect time for him to take control of the whole train set,” said Lewis.

“The tracks are already laid, our 2030 strategy is in place, and now the trustees and I are very excited to see where he drives us”.

D’arcy added: “The coming years are crucial ones for our mission, with more and more people at risk of getting stuck in the vicious cycle of money and mental health problems.”

Robertson Trust

Jim McCormick is stepping down as chief executive of Scottish charities' funder The Robertson Trust at the end of March next year.

After six years leading the grantmaker he is to move on to “pursue various interests in Scotland and beyond, via consultancy and other approaches” said the Trust.

The Trust’s chair Morag McNeill said that the Board will share details of the process and timeline to recruit McCormick’s successor.
