Patrick Cox is has left the Small Charities Coalition. Cox was the founder of the Small Charities Coalition and acted as the first chief executive while the organisation found its feet and registered as a charity.

He always intended to step down to return to his position as the Chief Executive of the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign. The trustees of the Coalition would like to thank Patrick for his vision and hard work over the last few years and wish him well.

Patrick Cox said: “Male cancer awareness is struggling with no staff and needs resources and as founder I can’t allow it to struggle. I am determined to take action now and help it realise its goal.

“I would like to thank the Coalition’s brilliant staff, our volunteers, the trustees and our funders in allowing me to achieve my dream and vision supporting small charities better.”
