Visit by the High Sheriff
We are delighted to welcome Philippa Gogarty, High Sheriff of West Sussex to Bentswood Hub on Friday 30th August, Philippa is coming to see Bentswood Hub in action and find out more about our work in the community.
Philippa Gogarty is the co-founder of Micro Scooters Ltd., which she launched with her business partner in London in 2004. With six young children between them they were fortunate enough to establish a new and fun way for families to travel short distances which captured children’s imaginations and became one of the top selling and sustainable children’s brands of all time.
Before launching Micro Scooters, Philippa worked in fundraising as Campaign Director with Lord Winston to raise money to build a research centre for Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Imperial College London at Hammersmith Hospital and as The Appeal Director for St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington to raise money for a Paediatric A & E Unit. She also worked as Head of Fundraising at The Royal Society of Arts Manufactures and Commerce in London and before that at The Children’s Hospice for the Eastern Region, which was one of the first of its kind in the UK
