The Prostate Cancer Support Federation is pleased to announce that, thanks to the continuing long-term support of Prostate Action, we have been able to appoint Rowena Bartlett as Development Director, with effect from 1st February 2012. The purpose of this appointment is to develop and implement the strategic goals of the Federation, to lead in developing and implementing a fundraising strategy, to provide sound financial management and to manage day to day operation of the Federation.
Rowena Bartlett
Rowena initially worked in the arts, first as an antiquarian bookseller and then at Sotheby’s in London. She then moved into the not-for-profit sector and ran the Friends of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art in Edinburgh, raising funds for the Academy. Later followed a position as a fund-raiser for Kidscape, a children’s charity in London.
She was then asked to set up The Haven, a breast cancer support charity which now has centres in London, Hereford and Leeds. She was their Chief Executive from 1997 to 2002, then became a Trustee for seven years, before returning as interim CEO between 2009 and 2010. She also took on the role of governor at her local primary school in Hampshire.
Rowena's initial priorities will be to develop the Federation's funding position into one in which it will be self-sustaining over the long term and in a position to achieve its strategic goal of being recognised as THE prostate cancer patients' voice across the UK.
You can meet Rowena, and discuss how the Federation may better serve the needs of your group, by coming to the AGM on 25th April
