AFK Celebrates a Historic Milestone with New Female Leadership
History is being made at AFK - Working With Disability! For the first time in over 30 years, the charity has appointed two women to its most senior leadership positions, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to progress and inclusion.
Leading with experience and passion, Miriam Deakin becomes Chair of Trustees, bringing extensive expertise in health and social care policy. Meanwhile, Katie Cavanagh takes on the role of Chief Executive Officer, drawing on 30 years of experience in the charity sector.
Empowering the next generation! Their leadership will strengthen AFK’s mission to provide essential mobility equipment for disabled children and support neurodivergent young people in securing paid employment, helping them achieve greater independence.
At iCollectClothes we are honoured to support AFK’s inspiring journey and remain passionate about supporting its mission of empowering young people, promoting independence and creating opportunities for everyone to reach their full potential.💜
