Announcement of the death of Michael Sparks MBE

It is with great sadness that we announce that Michael Sparks MBE, the former Chief Executive of the Foundation passed away on the 10th January 2021. Michael was employed at the Foundation for nearly two decades and served as Chief Executive for eight years from 1989-1997, but contributed more than those years would imply through his innovative grant making and progressive vision for the Third Sector.
