Linda Sharpe is filling the role left vacant by David Bedford's departure until a replacement can be found.
Bedford, who was chair of the youth charity's national board for three years, left his post a week after Angela Sarkis quit her position as national secretary on 4 April (www.cypnow.co.uk). The two are understood to have been in conflict, although no details of any grievances have been disclosed.

The interim national secretary will be appointed to help lead that consultation."
