Our weekly round-up of all the latest movers in the charity sector.
Chief executive
David Robb, the chief executive of OSCR, the charity regulator in Scotland, has taken on a part-time role as deputy director for the Scottish Government’s digital directorate.
Robb’s new role, which started this month, will help “support the digital participation agenda for Scotland’s charities, and also meet OSCR’s aim of 100 per cent online delivery”.
He will remain in his chief executive role with the regulator, but has delegated some work to other members of OSCR’s senior management team.
Robb’s part-time role with the Scottish Government will last for six months.
Finance and strategy
Diabetes UK has appointed Graham Galvin to the role of director of corporate services. Galvin starts his new role on 5 December.
He will direct the work of five teams within the wider Diabetes UK organisation as part of a corporate services directorate. The directorate will be made up of the IT, finance, governance and compliance, legal and planning and performance and risk management teams.
Galvin joins Diabetes UK from Breast Cancer Care, where he was director of finance and resources since 2010. Prior to that Galvin held similar roles at Volunteering England and Groundwork East London.
He replaces Mark Woodbridge, who left Diabetes UK to join Global Witness.
