We're hiring a new Chair of Trustees to help lead us through our next chapter of growth and ambition. 💫
As part of this transition, we warmly thank Dr Vanessa Ogden, who is stepping down as Chair after five years of outstanding service.
Since joining the Board in 2021, Vanessa has provided thoughtful, steady and values driven leadership during a period of significant change for the organisation and times of uncertainty and challenge for the wider sector. Her deep commitment to children and young people, alongside her exceptional expertise in education, governance and the arts, has played a vital role in strengthening the Unicorn’s foundations and shaping its future direction.
A passionate advocate for the Unicorn’s mission, Vanessa has consistently championed the transformative power of theatre in young people’s lives, and has offered wisdom, generosity and care to the Board, staff and wider community throughout her tenure.
On behalf of the Board, team, artists and audiences, the Unicorn extends its heartfelt thanks to Vanessa for her remarkable contribution, and we are honoured that Vanessa remains one of Creative Champions.
