Message from Bethanie:
"Working with the Ignite Life community and growing such an impactful organisation has been one of my greatest achievements. It is with such a heavy heart that I announce my departure as I feel truly connected to the whole community and everyone we have worked alongside. From an idea and a great board of trustees, to an established youth charity supporting around 350 people per year 5 years on, I will always reflect on my time at Ignite with such joy and pride.
While I will be moving on, the mission of Ignite Life remains as vital as ever. I have made so many special connections over the past 5 years and I am forever grateful for everyones commitment and continued backing."
