Christian Aid Scotland

The convener of the Church of Scotland’s Church and Society Council has been appointed the new head of Christian Aid Scotland.

The Rev Sally Foster-Fulton will take over the helm of the ecumenical charity, which tackles the effects and causes of poverty with partners around the world on March 1.

The 51-year-old is stepping down as associate minister at Dunblane Cathedral at the end of February and as convener of the Church and Society Council at the General Assembly in May when her four-year term of office comes to an end.

Ms Foster Fulton said there are close connections between the work being carried out by Christian Aid and the church.
