We’re delighted to announce the appointment of two exceptional new Trustees at Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, which provides specialist nurses and vital support to seriously ill children across the UK.

Lizzie Emillion joins as Trustee. Lizzie is Executive Director of Fundraising at Teach First and has over 15 years’ experience in high-value fundraising across Great Ormond Street Children’s Charity, NSPCC, and Moorfields Eye Charity. A mentor with the Tony Elischer Foundation and a holder of a Master’s in Philanthropy from the University of Kent, Lizzie brings deep insight into donor engagement and income growth.

Kimberley Mitchell also joins the Board. Kimberley is a specialist in high-value fundraising and relationship strategy with more than 15 years’ experience, having held senior roles at Stonewall, ZSL, and the Institute of Imagination. An expert in ethical fundraising, EDI, and corporate partnerships, she has built relationships with brands including adidas, The Premier League, and LEGO — driving award-winning fundraising outcomes.

Congratulations to Lizzie and Kimberley — fantastic appointments that will help the charity continue its mission to improve the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
