I am delighted to be continuing into my second year as President of the Halifax & Bradford CII. It has been a privilege to serve over the past year, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together as a Council and wider professional community.

Over the past 12 months, we have seen strong engagement across our membership, delivered a varied programme of CPD, and hosted well-supported social and fundraising events. Most importantly, we have continued to strengthen the sense of community that sits at the heart of our Institute — something that remains essential as our profession continues to evolve.

Building on this momentum, I am pleased to confirm that Cash for Kids will remain my chosen charity for a second year.

Cash for Kids is an incredible organisation dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK, supporting those affected by poverty, illness, neglect, or additional needs.
