Welcoming two new Trustees to GOSH Charity

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Leigh Brody and Kevin Aitchison, who joined Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) as Trustees in January.

Our Trustees play a vital role. They’re responsible for providing governance and leadership that help guide our work, which includes funding ground-breaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment and life-changing support.

Dr Leigh Brody is an investment manager at AlbionVC, where she invests in transformative technologies and treatments developed through medical research. Before joining AlbionVC, she helped to create and grow several early-stage medical research businesses, including Desktop Genetics and Quell Therapeutics. Leigh also holds a PhD from Imperial College London.

Alongside her role as a Trustee, Leigh will sit on our Grants and Impact Committee, using her expertise to identify and fund new technologies and treatments that could change young lives. She will become Chair of the Committee in January 2027, when Jennifer Bethlehem comes to the end of her term.

Kevin Aitchison is Managing Director, Head of Europe at Savills Investment Management, a specialist real estate investment manager. With 38 years in the industry, he has extensive experience in all areas of real estate.

Kevin was previously Chair of Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby and, in 2021 was awarded an MBE for services to Wheelchair Rugby and disability.

Alongside his role as a Trustee, Kevin will be a member of our Property and Development Committee, where his wealth of experience in the real estate industry will help GOSH Charity to create welcoming, child-centred spaces for patients and families.

We’re proud to welcome our new Trustees to GOSH Charity, and grateful to have them alongside us to help us give seriously ill children the best chance and childhood possible.
