Nall to leave Children's Society for NHS role

Finance | Tania Mason | 21 Jul 2010

Charles Nall, finance director of the Children’s Society and chair of Charity Finance Directors' Group, is to take up a new job as finance director at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.

He will start his new position on 31 August, but will continue working at the Children’s Society part-time until 24 September.

It is unclear whether he intends to carry on as chair of CFDG but part of his new job will entail some responsibility for the hospital’s associated charity, Moorfields Lions Korle Bu Trust.

According to the Trust's chair Howard Lee, the Trust was registered about a year ago and it has not yet filed any accounts with the Charity Commission. The charity aims to reduce blindness in west Africa by building an eye hospital in Ghana and it has set itself a target of raising £3m to build the hospital and run it for five years.

Lee said Nall would not be directly responsible for the charity's finances, but would join the trustee board.

Before joining the Children’s Society, Nall was assistant director of the grantmaking Wolfson Foundation. He has been at the Children’s Society for 12 years.

In Civil Society’s most recent Charity 250 Index Constituent Review, the Society had slipped from last place in the Charity 100 Index to sixth place in the Charity 250 Index, meaning that other charities of a similar size had grown faster and overtaken it in the income league table.
