Christian safeguarding charity Thirtyone:eight’s joint Chief Executive has stepped down after ten years in the role.

Justin Humphreys, who was with Thirtyone:eight for a total of 16 years, called his time with the charity “the honour and privilege of my life”. “Thirtyone:eight has become the ‘go to’ organisation for safeguarding support across an ever-widening landscape. Consequently, we have been able to positively affect the lives of countless thousands of people, whether directly or indirectly. It has been a joy to lead this organisation,” he said.

“One of the hardest decisions for a leader to make is knowing when to leave. This is a departure on good terms at a time that I believe is right, both for myself and the charity.”

“Serving alongside Justin as joint CEO has been an immense privilege,” said Steve Ball, co-CEO of Thirtyone:eight. “I’m deeply grateful to have worked with someone whose passion and commitment to protecting people from harm and creating safer places for all has been evident in everything he does. He leaves with our full blessing, and we wish him every success for the future.”
