Happy CEO of Children in Scotland. Also delighted to be the chair of the Corra Foundation and on the board of the Scotland Malawi Partnership. Lucky to live in Broughty Ferry and never happier than when up a hill.
Just 2 months to go now until Jen and I run the Porto marathon to support the brilliant @childreninscotland.bsky.social 's children and young people's advisory group Changing our World. What a brilliant bunch. If you have a spare 5, here's the link ttps://www.justgiving.com/page/judith-turbyne-3

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Fiona for a long time and we will miss her. I know Carolyn will continue to provide excellent leadership to Corra as we strive to deliver our work with care, humility and purpose.
2/2 Fiona has played an enormous role in Corra’s development, and her legacy is deeply embedded in our bold ten-year strategy.

Corra will continue to be led by Carolyn Sawers, who has held the CEO role since late 2022.

1/2 Corra Foundation announces that Fiona Duncan will be stepping down from her role as Chief Executive. This comes after the extension of her appointment by the First Minister as Independent Strategic Advisor to #KeepThePromise.
