We Welcome Our New President

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Baroness Jane Campbell of Surbiton as our new President! Baroness Campbell, a renowned advocate for disability rights and inclusion, brings decades of experience and passion to the role, further solidifying Phab’s mission of promoting inclusion for people of all abilities.

Baroness Campbell takes over from the much-loved actor Anita Dobson, who has served as Phab’s President with distinction for the past eight years. During her tenure, Anita was instrumental in raising the Phab’s profile, supporting our work to foster inclusive communities and empower disabled individuals to achieve their full potential.

Reflecting on her time as President, Anita expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to champion Phab’s cause and shared her confidence in Baroness Campbell’s ability to continue and build upon the charity’s important work.

Baroness Campbell’s career has been defined by her dedication to advancing disability inclusion, both nationally and internationally. As a prominent member of the House of Lords and a disability rights activist, she has been a leading voice in advocating for equality and accessibility. Her appointment marks an exciting chapter for Phab, as we look forward to benefiting from her vision and expertise.

With Baroness Campbell at the helm, we our poised to continue our mission with renewed vigor and a strengthened commitment to inclusion for all.
