After five years at the charity he moved to Oxfam as head of media for a brief period covering maternity leave before moving to anti-poverty charity Practical Action's international trade and development team where he was head of public affairs.

Almost three years later and Don moved to campaigning for greater coverage of international issues on mainstream TV in the UK when he joined the International Broadcasting Trust in 2001 as the 3WE coordinator.
