Announcing our new Chief Executive, Patrick Watt, formerly our interim CEO, now joins us on a permanent basis.

Patrick joined Christian Aid UK in 2019, taking the lead on the organisation’s influencing, evidence and mobilisation strategy in the UK and internationally across a range of issues including economic and climate justice.

Patrick has vast experience within the third sector. He previously worked for Oxfam, Action Aid, and Save the Children on issues of education, global health, debt and trade, and aid policy.

I feel enormously privileged to be given the opportunity to lead this great organisation on the next stage of its journey, in tackling the root causes of poverty and promoting dignity, equality, and justice.

I look forward to continuing to work with Patrick and everyone at Christian Aid in our mission to turn hunger into hope and eradicate extreme poverty across the globe.”
