Simon Pitts

Head of Fundraising and Communications

I head up our small fundraising and communications team, providing strategic direction to increase our brand awareness, and grow and diversify our voluntary income.

I have worked in fundraising management since 2010 at a number of palliative care and health charities, as well as being a volunteer for over 25 years, including as a trustee for a learning disability charity. I joined Lifelites in August 2023 and have been blown away by the impact our technology has on children and families.

Childhood memory: Making popcorn with my nan and staying up late playing games.

If you are a philanthropist looking to make a real and tangible impact, someone wanting to leave a lasting legacy or would like to support us by taking part in a challenge event, please contact me on spitts@lifelites.org
