Liz Tait is to join Teenage Cancer Trust as its director of fundraising after nearly eight years in the same role at animal charity Battersea.
At Battersea she has overseen the growth of its income from £10m in 2010 to £40m this year. This year she came sixth in Fundraising Magazine's Most Influential poll.
Tait is a trustee of the Institute of Fundraising and chairs its Standards Advisory Board. She has previously chaired the IoF Convention board.
She previously held senior fundraising roles at the British Red Cross, Sense and Plan UK. Until recently she was a trustee at Action on Hearing Loss.
Tait, who will join Teenage Cancer Trust on 12 November, said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Teenage Cancer Trust at a very exciting time. I greatly admire their amazing work supporting young people with cancer and their families. I am committed to doing all I can to help increase their impact and look forward to working with their fantastic fundraising team.”
She takes over the role from Kate Collins who was promoted to chief executive earlier this year.
Collins said: “We are delighted Liz will be joining Teenage Cancer Trust. She is a talented, dynamic and people-driven fundraising leader who has achieved fantastic results throughout her career. I am thrilled that she is bringing her skills, passion and experience to Teenage Cancer Trust and am confident that, under Liz’s leadership our fundraising will go from strength to strength so we can expand our work and support every young person who needs us.”
