Interview: Lucy Peake, Chief executive of Grandparents Plus

Ms Peake was appointed to the role of chief executive last
month.

What do you hope to achieve in your new role?

I want to make sure that grandparents are recognised for the vital role they play in caring for children, whether that is a few hours a week after-school care, or taking on a full-time caring role. I also want to build on Grandparents Plus's formidable policy and research reputation. We will continue to work with grandparents, Government at all levels, and in partnership with other charities to do this.

We will be consulting with grandparents to make sure we understand their needs and develop new services to meet them, as well as speak out on issues that concern this very diverse group.
