YGAM, the Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust, has announced the appointment of Dr. Jane Rigbye as its new Chief Executive.
Dr. Rigbye is a chartered psychologist and a fellow of the Royal Society of Public Health. She has worked in the field of gambling addiction for fifteen years and, as such, brings a vast amount of experience to the role. Her experience includes nine years in senior leadership roles at GambleAware, including as Prevention Director.
In the past, Dr. Rigbye has worked in the NHS and contributed to research addressing many aspects of public health in gaming and gambling. She has also been a trustee of a children’s mental health charity overseeing communications and fundraising, and she is currently a school governor with lead responsibility for safeguarding.
I am delighted to announce this exciting appointment and welcome Dr. Jane Rigbye to the charity. Her knowledge of the fields of harm prevention is exceptional, and her achievements in this sector are outstanding. Dr. Rigbye has the leadership qualities and vision to take YGAM to the next level. The Board of Trustees is looking forward to seeing what our new Chief Executive and our talented team can accomplish together in our mission to educate and safeguard future generations.
Speaking about her new role, Dr. Rigbye said that she is “incredibly proud,” having “observed and admired” the work carried out by YGAM for many years. She stressed that prevention of gambling harm should be a top priority for all and added, “I look forward to working collaboratively to deliver the impact that can be achieved through education.”
Dr. Rigbye will assume her new role on Monday 17th January, while Helen Martin will continue in her new role as Chief Operating Officer after she took on additional responsibilities during the recruitment process.
