The chief executive of the children’s charity, Cabrini, is to leave the organisation after just over a year in the job, writes Liz Dodd.
Jonathan Pearce, who joined the Cabrini Children’s Society in September 2012, is to replace Sally Penrose as chief executive of the Lymphoma Association. He will be leaving in early December.
Cabrini operates in the Southwark, Arundel and Brighton and Portsmouth dioceses. It severed its formal links with the Church in order to continue placing children for adoption with gay couples. Cabrini is financially supported through collections in the parishes. Mr Pearce, whose role for Cabrini was advertised by headhunters Saxton Bampfylde, was paid a salary of between £90,000 and £99,0000.
In a statement Cabrini said that Mr Pearce had successfully carried out a major restructuring of the charity’s staffing and budgets. It added that an interim chief executive will be appointed before Mr Pearce leaves so an “appropriate handover and transition can be made”.
Before joining Cabrini, Mr Pearce spent 10 years as the chief executive of the charity Adoption UK.
