“I am delighted to be joining Future First at this important time in its growth,” said Riley.
“Reducing inequality, increasing opportunity, and maximising the potential of all children, has never been more important.
“Future First’s model of mobilising alumni networks to provide access to positive role models, mentoring and access to work experience is inspiring, and Lorraine and the team should be extremely proud of what has already been achieved.
“I am looking forward to leading the next phase of Future First’s development, as we look to increase both our reach and impact across the country”.
