Chris Williams has taken the decision to step down from his role as BRACE CEO. On behalf of everyone at BRACE, we thank him for nearly four years of dedicated service, during which he led the charity through two of its most successful years. In 2023 and 2024 alone, the charity raised almost £3 million.  

From running half marathons for BRACE to celebrating 40 years of the South West Dementia Brain Bank, Chris had a real impact and will be missed.  

We wish him every success in his next endeavours and thank him for his contributions to dementia research.  

The existing Senior Leadership Team, Head of Fundraising Liberty Harrison, and Finance Manager John Shelley will co-lead the charity for the time being.
