Campbell Robb, Director General of the Office of the Third Sector and Social Exclusion, has announced he will take up a new post as Chief Executive of the housing and homelessness charity Shelter in the new year.
Cabinet Office will make an announcement on Campbell’s replacement in the very near future.
Campbell Robb was appointed as the first Director General of the Office of the Third Sector in May 2006. During this time he has successfully delivered a comprehensive programme of support for the sector, worth over £515m. Under his leadership, OTS has delivered a further package, worth around £60m targeted on supporting the sector through the recession.
Angela Smith, Minister for the Third Sector and Social Exclusion, said:
“Campbell has worked tirelessly to ensure the delivery of an unprecedented programme of support for the third sector. Working with colleagues across OTS and wider Government, he has driven forward targeted and comprehensive support for third sector organisations and socially excluded communities.
“We will ensure that there is no loss of momentum . OTS and SETF will continue to work together and there will be no let up in our support for the most excluded and disadvantaged in society.
“Whilst we are very sad to lose Campbell, we recognise this is an exciting opportunity for him and good news for Shelter. We wish him luck for the future.”
