Charity Ambassadors

We are so lucky to have a group of amazing supporters dedicated to the work we do at Scope.

Our ambassadors support our tireless work to ensure we can create an equal future for disabled people. We would like to thank them for their ongoing support.

Peter Brewer

Investment manager

 

Peter’s expertise and industry insight has been invaluable when promoting our social investment products, which raise significant money to help our work.

I know of Scope's excellent work first hand as my eldest daughter has cerebral palsy and attends a Scope school, which has transformed her quality of life.

Neil Blackley

Media and technology private equity analyst

 

Neil has supported Scope for many years, including supporting Scope events and the retail expansion project, and encouraging new Scope initiatives.

Experiencing at first hand how diagnosis turned our lives upside down, I was impressed with Scope's passion to support people across all disabilities and age groups.

Mark D Smith

Finance and Global Business Services expert

 

Mark has been involved with many charities over the last 15+ years, including Great Ormond Street Hospital and HOME Singapore. He has been crucial to the success of the Inspirations Dinner, and has now taken over as committee chair, he has also been instrumental in introducing Scope to companies and businesses.

Cancer and children’s charities are more immediately chosen by others for fundraising and support but disability is just as important an issue to address. I want to help raise awareness of Scope’s work.

He is a passionate advocate for disability rights, and wrote the memoir ‘Two for Joy’ about raising twins with Cerebral Palsy.

Scope's Everyday Equality campaign is very aligned with my interests. Scope are organised and proactive and I feel like there is real momentum in changing attitudes towards disability.

Isabel Hudson

Non-executive director

 

Isabel has been involved with Scope for over 10 years, and was chair of the committee behind Scope’s annual fundraising dinner for 7 years. She has supported our retail expansion project, and often engages corporate supporters.

Scope does great work helping families at that stressful and disorienting time when one of their children is first diagnosed as disabled. Much of the work it does is unsung as disabled people do not have high visibility, but every family which has to cope with the issues surrounding disability will know how all encompassing these can be.
