Trustee
David's son Finn was born sleeping on Friday 13th April 2012 and Sands' support made a huge difference to David and his wife. Since then they have raised money for Sands, and his wife has blogged about her experiences. David has held several senior commercial roles within Barclays and is particularly interested in using his marketing and strategy background to support fundraising, and help build new corporate relationships and professional support for the charity.
Vice-Chair
David's son Ruaridh died shortly after he was born in April 1996, and his role as a Trustee is driven by the wish to ensure that bereaved parents receive the best possible care, and to reduce the loss of babies’ lives. He is Chair of the Scottish Steering Group, guiding the work of Sands volunteers in Scotland, and has worked as a psychiatrist for over 30 years and more recently in healthcare improvement.
Trustee
Emma is a mum of three, originally from Scotland and now lives in Hampshire. When her son died, Sands (and particularly the local Southampton group) became one of her family’s lifelines. Professionally, she is a Partner of McKinsey & Company, an international management consultancy. At McKinsey, she helps a variety of organisations set and deliver ambitious strategies. In the past, she has managed international charity campaigns for Comic Relief, Kofi Annan’s Africa Progress Panel and the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.
Treasurer
Tom and his family found tremendous comfort in the support they received from Sands after the death of their son Findlay in 2015. After organising a fundraising event in memory of Findlay, Tom joined the Committee of Norfolk Sands.
Having built a career firstly as an Auditor and now as a Finance Director, Tom has extensive knowledge of the often complex areas of charity finance and governance, as well as the varied experience which comes with being in senior leadership positions for a number of years.
Chair
Oliver Reichardt is the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Radiologists. Before this he was the Director of Fellowship at the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturing and Commerce (RSA) and Executive Lead for its work on the Economy, Enterprise and Manufacturing. Previous roles include for the New Forest National Park Authority, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and the Overseas Development Institute. He holds an MBA from Cranfield School of Management and a Masters in Global Politics. Oliver knows first-hand the huge difference the charity can make, having been supported by Sands after the death of his daughter, Primrose.
