Dr Richard Marsh, formerly Director of the ImpACT Coalition of charities, is to take over from me at Intelligent Giving on 1 July. I, for my part, am changing careers: from September, I’m going to be a history teacher at Oakham School in Rutland.

I’m thrilled that Richard will be joining IG. He’s the perfect person to lead our project to overhaul the way we rate charities, and will be able to bring much both from his experience running an international charity, and from his time at ImpACT – where he promoted transparency and accountability in the voluntary sector.

IG’s trustees are just as happy as me. Neill Ghosh, the chairman, said that IG is “extremely lucky that Richard will be able to take Adam's place. Richard’s skills and experience make him the perfect person to take forward our ambitious agenda, improving both charities and the way people give.”

My last day at this office will be on 17 July, after a brief hand-over period to Richard. But before I go, I hope I’ll have a chance to write some more on this blog. After all, I’d hate to leave charities thinking that they had no further room to improve.
