William Shawcross has been reappointed chair of the Charity Commission, and the role has been expanded from two to three days a week.
Minister for the Cabinet Office Francis Maude announced the move today, saying the reappointment will ensure the continuity of the regulator’s three-year transformation programme.
Maude said the expansion of the role reflects the government’s support for the commission’s reforms. Shawcross will not receive an increase in pay.
Shawcross first took the role in October 2012. He has since overseen an overhaul at the regulator and welcomed a new chief executive in Paula Sussex, who joined last year.
His previous roles include as chair of human rights organisation Article 19, board member of International Crisis Group, and member of the Council of the Disasters Emergency Committee.
Shawcross is also a multi published author, writing the official biography of the Queen Mother and books covering the work of aid agencies and international organisations.
