It was apparent from our first conversation that Luke shares our values and our drive to positively engage Government, serve our members and partners, and deliver change in the charity sector. As well as his dedication to public service, we were particularly impressed with Luke's collaborative approach, driving legislative change to introduce stronger rights for neonatal leave as one example. Please join me in welcoming Luke as we take CTG into the new year and continue our mission for a fairer tax environment for charities."
