In this our 35th year, we are delighted to announce the appointment of our new CEO for Kindred Advocacy, Elaine Davis, who will be joining us on 1st April 2025.  

Our outgoing CEO Sophie Pilgrim has been a vital part of Kindred’s success for over 16 years, and we are grateful for the passion and dedication with which she has led Kindred. Her resilience and professionalism have made a real difference to the lives of the families and children with complex needs that Kindred serves. 

Elaine has a background in teaching, including children with additional needs, and leading teams providing education, advocacy and support services within the Rape Crisis Movement across both England and Scotland.  

“I am delighted to be joining Kindred, I know that parenting a child with complex needs is challenging, and Kindred provides a much needed and highly valued advocacy service for families. I am looking forward to working with and learning from our dedicated Staff Team and Board, supporters, funders and families to ensure the ongoing success of this vital service”.

Welcome to the Kindred Family Elaine!
