Martin Cawley joined Beatson Cancer Charity as CEO in July 2019. Martin has been involved in the area of health and social care his entire his career. He previously held senior positions in a number of Scotland’s charities and spent 3 years as Director of the National Lottery Community Fund in Scotland working with charities and community organisations.
Martin has a comprehensive understanding of the wide-ranging challenges facing charitable organisations in Scotland. Over the years he has been involved in a range of national forums and working groups related to areas of his work. More specifically Martin has an in-depth experience, knowledge and understanding of the issues facing people from a range of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. Martin thinks this experience will help him as he takes on the challenge of leading the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Martin enjoys nothing more than spending time with his wife, daughters and extended family. He loves most sport and describes himself as more of a “passive sportsman” but still enjoys a walk in the fresh air to clear his head after a day’s work.
