David Gregson
Improving teenage wellbeing and mental health
We are letting our nation’s children down. Mental health issues have steadily risen over the last twenty years; physical activity levels continue to decline leading to higher rates of obesity; increasing numbers of vulnerable children are being excluded from school and our children are amongst the most anxious in the world. England now has the lowest literacy, and second lowest numeracy, rates of 16-19 year olds in the OECD. David will explain how #BeeWell is helping to change this.
David is chair of The Gregson Family Foundation; an Executive Committee Member of The Institute for Fiscal Studies; a Trustee of Pro Bono Economics and The Windsor Leadership Trust; a Director of the FA Women’s Super League; an advisor to the Sutton Trust, which seeks to improve social mobility through education, and to the Invictus Games; chair of the #BeeWell Advisory and Delivery Group boards; and a member of the Advisory Board of Alliance Manchester Business School. He was previously a co-founder and Chairman of Phoenix Equity Partners and, over his career, he has been a director or Chairman of some thirty companies or charities.
