They will bring their extraordinary talents to the leadership of the Alliance and represent a major statement as to our commitment to connect with and serve a whole generation of younger adults."
Gavin and Chine join Steve Clifford (general director), Helen Calder (executive director: finance & services), Fred Drummond (national director, Scotland), Elfed Godding (national director, Wales), Dave Landrum (director of advocacy), and Peter Lynas (national director, Northern Ireland), on the leadership team of the Alliance.
