Luma Foundation has appointed Zoë Metcalfe as its first Chief Executive Officer. Zoë joins the charity to set and deliver its strategy, build relationships with hospitals, donors and corporate partners across Yorkshire, and lead the fundraising programme.

The appointment follows a period of rapid growth for the Foundation since its relaunch in 2024, with two Charity Clay Days, the Laparo Apex surgical simulator and two photobiomodulation units delivered to Leeds Children's Hospital, and a new appeal for Sheffield Children's Hospital in development.

Zoë will work closely with the Board of Trustees and can be reached at info@lumafoundation.org.uk.

Make a difference

Every pound buys equipment. Nothing is wasted on the way.

We are a lean charity run by a small team and volunteer trustees. Donations go to the hospitals' own charities to buy equipment through NHS procurement, and we tell you exactly what your money bought.
