Aid to the Church in Need appoints new UK director

The UK office of a charity helping persecuted and other suffering Christians has announced the appointment of its new chief executive. 

Dr Caroline Hull will take over from Neville Kyrke-Smith as national director of the British section of Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

Dr Hull, who is currently ACN (UK)’s Head of Community Outreach, will assume the post this Easter, as Mr Kyrke-Smith is retiring after more than three decades in the role – during which time the amount of aid the charity provided for the suffering Church increased tenfold.
