The CareTech Foundation’s chief executive Jonathan Freeman is stepping down after having held the role since the Foundation’s inception in 2017.

Since then, the organisation said it has helped more than 1.8 million direct beneficiaries and distributing in excess of £4.7 million in funding to various causes, including 334 charities.

Freeman is leaving to concentrate on the Charity for Civil Servants – he began his career as a civil servant.

In a statement the Foundation said: “We wish Jonathan all the best in his new role and look forward to seeing the positive impact he will undoubtedly continue to make.

“In due course, the Foundation will provide updates on how this transition will affect our organisation. However, it is important to emphasise that our work will continue at the high standards we are known for, delivering meaningful impact as always.”
