We are really excited to announce the members of our new Advisory Board!

As a rapidly growing charity, it is important that The Cyber Helpline has a strong team advising it on strategy, charity best practice and maximising our impact for victims. The new Advisory Board will support our leadership team to ensure it can draw on the right expertise to support its decision making.

The team comprises a range of backgrounds including academic, survivors of online harm, cyber security, fraud and cyber security skills development. We hope to add to the team and add additional expertise as required. The team will meet at least once a quarter and will provide continuous feedback and support to the Board of Trustees and wider leadership team.
