After an extensive recruitment process, the new trustees joining the Board are Baroness Hilary Armstrong, Marina Gibbs, Mubin Haq and Dr Koravangattu Valsraj.
Baroness Armstrong is a Labour Member of the House of Lords with extensive experience in non-executive leadership roles.
Gibbs has over 20 years of experience in operating at board level in both executive and non-executive roles.
Haq is expected to bring insight, knowledge and experience from his work and advocacy activities, focused on improving living standards and addressing financial problems of low-to-middle income earners.
Dr Valsraj is a consultant psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with substantial experience in clinical leadership roles. He has provided leadership for two mental health trusts and has been a part of a senior leadership board for a University Hospital in India.
The current Board members include Chair Kate Lampard CBE, Saffron Cordery, Professor Sian Griffiths, Michelle Highman, Rachel Pearce and Paul Simpson.
Lampard said: “We are very pleased to announce the appointment of four new trustees, each of whom brings with them skills and experience that will help guide and support GambleAware as it works to deliver its new five-year strategy.
"Our current Board composition is strong on health and public health, but we recognised there was a clear need to increase the diversity of the Board and extend the skill base of trustees. With these new appointments, we look forward to building and expanding the Board’s expertise that will support the charity in the years ahead.”
