Rory Innes Wins 'Inspirational Leadership' Award at Pier24
We are thrilled to announce that Rory Innes, Founder and CEO of The Cyber Helpline, has won the prestigious 'Inspirational Leadership' Award at the 'Excellence in Global Online Protection' awards! The award was presented at the Pier24 Conference in London on May 21st, 2024.
These awards aim to recognise and celebrate remarkable efforts worldwide in protecting children from online child sexual abuse.
Rory's outstanding leadership in establishing The Cyber Helpline, our charitable organisation that provides invaluable cybersecurity advice to those impacted by online harm, has been rightfully acknowledged.
Please join us in congratulating Rory Innes on this incredible achievement! Let's celebrate his dedication and the positive impact he's making in our online community.
The Cyber Helpline supports individuals 13 years or older who are experiencing issues with their online accounts or devices.
Our services are particularly crucial for young adults, as cyberbullying and online harassment are among the most common cybercrimes affecting teenagers in the UK.
Online harassment has one of the highest reported impacts on mental health and daily life. Victims have shared harrowing experiences:
“I feel overwhelming anxiety and fear. Constant fear of when it will happen again. I’m struggling to eat and sleep.”
“I’m completely stressed out. Can’t sleep. Crying all the time because I feel trapped.”
The impact of such harassment leaves vulnerable young people feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and constantly on edge, undermining their sense of safety and autonomy both online and offline.
This is why our mission is so important, and we are grateful to have a leader like Rory Innes working to continue and expand our cause to help more vulnerable people.
Please join us in congratulating Rory Innes on this incredible achievement!
