About us
Meet the CSC Team
We are based in London, with Patrons, a Board of Trustees and a team of staff running the day-to-day operations. For more information about our Network members and the type of work they do, have a look at our directory.
Board of Trustees
Our Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of the organisation. Selected for their expertise in different areas, they work closely with our CEO and senior management team to guide decision-making on strategic issues and hold them to account for their leadership of the organisation. Our Trustees are responsible in law for the organisation’s assets and activities, and we are grateful to these people who volunteer their time and talents to help ensure good governance at CSC.
Patrons & Ambassadors
Our Patrons and Ambassadors generously donate their time and leverage their public profile to help raise awareness and promote the work of CSC. They are passionate advocates for street children around the world.
Development Board
We are fortunate to benefit from the commitment of an active and involved Development Board whose members, in addition to promoting the work of CSC within their networks, are helping develop influential relationships for CSC and drive forward philanthropic giving.
Our Development Board was founded by Dr Roger Hayes, who was a senior counsellor at APCO Worldwide, specializing in international strategic communications with a particular interest in emerging countries, especially in Africa and Asia, where he worked both for governments and the private sector. Roger sadly passed away in 2020, but will be fondly remembered for his deep seated passion and seemingly endless energy to do right by street children and incredibly generous long-standing support for our work through his late wife Maggie Eales’ trust.
