A charity that builds and runs cinemas in hospitals has appointed Crispin Lilly, former chief executive of the Everyman Media Group cinema chain as its interim CEO.
Lilly, who is a trustee at MediCinema will lead the organisation on a part time basis while a replacement is found for Kat Mason, who is stepping down in August after seven years in the role.
In addition, Paul Giggal, the charity’s director of operations has been promoted to the role of chief operating officer.
“Kat has been a wonderful CEO for MediCinema, particularly throughout the past sixteen months while she has steered the charity through this turbulent time,” said MediCinema chair Paul Massara.
“Through her leadership the organisation has grown significantly, and I thank her for her huge and passionate commitment to the role over these seven years.
“I know that Crispin’s wealth of experience and his existing knowledge of MediCinema will be of great benefit to the charity while we search to find a permanent replacement.”
Lilly added: “I am absolutely delighted to be able to help the MediCinema team during this crucial transitional period.”
The charity’s cinemas were suspended in March 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic but the majority have reopened with socially distanced screenings. The charity has also launched a free bedside film channel for patients.
MediCinema operates cinemas in hospitals in London. Newcastle, Glasgow and South Wales.

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.
The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
