About Ocean Generation

Established in 2009 by film producer Jo Ruxton, we have galvanised a growing wave of change by exposing the threat of plastic pollution to our health and the health of our Ocean. Our award-winning documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’, was named by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most important films of our time” and ignited mass public awareness about the impact of plastic on our Ocean. Today, as a UNESCO-endorsed Ocean NGO, we address the full range of human actions threatening the Ocean with a particular focus on engaging young people.

• Our vision is a world where the Ocean is freed from human threats within a generation. 

• Our mission is to empower a global inclusive movement to tackle Ocean threats through science and storytelling.

We aim to foster a sense of agency, leading to tangible behavioural changes and a desire for collective action. This approach, combined with the increasingly global reach and impact of our programmes, provides an attractive base from which to build a funding proposition for each group of supporters.

About the PKD Charity.

Founded in 2000, we’re the first and only UK charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of an estimated 70,000 individuals and their families affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the UK.

PKD is a range of life-threatening inherited conditions that can cause kidney failure and affect other organs in the body such as the liver, brain, heart and bowels. Most people with PKD live with an uncertain prognosis, intermittent pain and infections, and then have to undergo life-saving dialysis or transplant in their 50s. A few babies have a rare form of PKD which results in death during pregnancy or shortly after birth; surviving children often have to have either a kidney or liver transplant before the age of 10.

We provide reliable, accredited information, advice and personalised support. We raise awareness of the burden of PKD, both clinical and psychosocial. We fund research aimed at understanding more about PKD and the discovery of therapies that will improve quality and longevity of life.

The Board of Trustees are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.

How to Apply

If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those affected by PKD and have the skills and experience to lead our charity to new heights, we would love to hear from you.
