A quote from Jacob reads: "I have had the pleasure of working alongside National Voices for many years, collaborating to put people with lived experience at the heart of some of the biggest decisions in health and care. I have seen first-hand the impact the team are having, reshaping the culture in our NHS to increasingly value the experiences and input of those receiving care. So, it is a genuine privilege to be joining as the new Chief Executive." "I want to extend my thanks to Sarah for having led the organisation so brilliantly through this period of change, and to Charlotte Augst for having built National Voices into the force it is today. I look forward to bringing my own determination and energy to the role and to building a powerful coalition to champion the interests of people accessing health and care."

George said this has really boosted his confidence. His teacher Caroline said George was the first student from the school to achieve a #CREST Award and 'the CREST Award gave George a springboard to explore his areas of interest and showcase his skills and knowledge'.
