Charities Aid Foundation appoints Interim Chief Executive

Charities Aid Foundation (trading as "CAF") has announced that it has appointed Caroline Siarkiewicz as Interim Chief Executive. Caroline will take over on 7 April 2026 following Neil Heslop's decision to retire as Chief Executive after nearly six years.

Caroline was previously CEO of the Money and Pensions Service from 2019 to 2024, following senior roles within the service and at one of its predecessors, the Money Advice Service. She is also a member of the Financial Conduct Authority's Consumer Panel.

CAF's Trustees are continuing the recruitment process for a permanent Chief Executive.

Sir Edward Braham, Chair of Trustees, the Charities Aid Foundation, said:

"I am pleased to welcome Caroline Siarkiewicz as CAF's Interim Chief Executive. She brings significant experience and passion to lead the group of organisations that make up the Charities Aid Foundation. Caroline has real enthusiasm for prioritising customers, and I know she will do the same for the growing number of charities and donors that CAF supports."

Caroline Siarkiewicz, incoming Interim Chief Executive of the Charities Aid Foundation comments:

"I am delighted to be joining CAF and continuing to grow its much-needed support to charities in the UK and around the world. This is an exciting opportunity given the distinctive role CAF plays as an expert partner to businesses, individual donors and charities. I am looking forward to working with the talented and dedicated team to increase its positive impact for the sector."
