Campbell Robb to leave Shelter

Campbell Robb is to step down as chief executive of Shelter in the New Year to take up the role of Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT).

Derek Myers, Shelter’s chair of trustees, said: “Campbell Robb has been at the heart of Shelter's vital and successful work for the past seven years.  During that time we have helped more people than ever before and campaigned to ensure housing gets given its proper priority.

“JRF and Shelter have much in common, and we know that Campbell will be a brilliant leader there too.”

Campbell Robb said:“It is with a great deal of sadness that I will be leaving Shelter in the New Year, to take up the position of Chief Executive of the JRF. It has been an absolute privilege for me to lead such a brilliant, passionate organisation over the last seven years, however it is now time for me to accept a new challenge and for new leadership to guide Shelter through the next stage of its crucial journey.”
