Refugee Action has named Tim Naor Hilton, who joined the charity 19 years ago as a frontline development worker in Manchester, as its next chief executive.
During his time at the charity he has been a member of its senior leadership team for the last seven years, including a stint as head of asylum in 2015.
While at the charity he has set up a good practice and partnerships team, which supports other charities as well as taking the lead on trusts and foundations fundraising.
“I start this new role with a big commitment to ramping up our plans to shift power within the charity to people with lived experience,” said Naor Hilton.
“This means not only ensuring refugees are at the heart of our movement but creating employment opportunities for them at Refugee Action and the wider sector.”
Refugee Action chair Penny Lawrence added: “The board is confident in and inspired by Tim’s values-led leadership, his vision for Refugee Action, his commitment to shifting power to refugees, and to his leadership.
“His track record of working collaboratively with an openness to learning and such humility but always with a steely eye on what matters most to the refugees and asylum seekers will serve Refugee Action so well in these challenging uncertain times.”
Among the charities campaigns is its Missing Piece Campaign to urge the UK government to resettle 5,000 refugees a year.

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.
