Dr Jane Rigbye will be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer of Ygam in June after three and a half years in the role. She will be appointed to the Ygam Board as a trustee, continuing to support the charity in this new capacity.
Dr Rigbye, a chartered psychologist and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health, has dedicated nearly two decades to working in the professional field of gambling harms. Since joining Ygam, she has played a pivotal role in establishing Ygam as the UKâs leading charity dedicated to preventing gaming and gambling harms among children and young people.
Under her leadership, Ygam has significantly enhanced its profile, expanded its reach, and increased its impact through the execution of an ambitious strategy and rebrand, which included the recent launch of a new website. The charity is now widely recognised across multiple sectors for its award-winning, evidence-based programmes, which support hundreds of schools, colleges, and universities, as well as working with brands such as the Scouts, Mumsnet, Place2Be, and The Childrenâs Society.
Mike Wojcik, Chair of Ygam, said: âOn behalf of the Board, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Jane for what she has achieved during her tenure. Jane has played a pivotal role in strengthening our engagement with government and key stakeholders, championing the vital role of the third sector during a period of significant reform. We wish her all the best in her next chapter and look forward to building on the strong foundation she has helped to create.
âWe are confident our senior leadership team will continue driving our strategy forward and making a meaningful impact.â
Dr Jane Rigbye, said: âLeading Ygam has been an incredible honour. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved as a team, and I know the charity will continue to go from strength to strength. The work we do has never been more important, and I have been continually inspired by the passion and talent of the Ygam team. While I am stepping down as CEO, I remain fully committed to Ygamâs mission and look forward to continuing to support its vital work as a trustee.â
Ygamâs Chief Operating Officer, Helen Martin, has been appointed as Interim CEO. The Board will provide further updates on the recruitment process for a permanent Chief Executive in due course.
