Executive Director

The Executive Director, Lesley-Ann Birley, is responsible for managing iNspire’s activities and driving the programme forward within the clear strategic framework set by the Board. Lesley-Ann works to support the Board and also works closely with the Supporters. She manages the connection between Supporters and the portfolio of charitable organisations and also monitors the use of the pro-bono support.

I love been involved in iNspire because I know that the combination of skills that we offer really do help the charities involved in the programme reach their goals quicker. People are really grateful for the time and expertise you give them, even if you do something that doesn't seem like a lot to you. It’s also inspiring to be surrounded by people who are passionate about what they do and with iNspire I get to help a large number of local charities from areas where I grew up or live and feel like I’m actually doing some good.
