As well as his ADTIS responsibilities, he currently teaches undergraduate translation for the Spanish and Russian Sections at Cambridge, as well as Spanish literature to undergraduates at Fitzwilliam. At the time, the Alzheimer's Society emphasised that the announcement was not connected to any of the claims of bullying that were being made on social media via an anonymous and now-deleted Twitter account, and had “been planned for some time”.

Over the last five years, Samaritans has achieved some significant positive changes under Ruth’s leadership, including improvements in our infrastructure, service offering, visibility and influence.Simon graduated in 1993 from the University of Leicester with a BSc degree that was three quarters physics and one quarter physical geography. The recent surge in membership demonstrated just how concerned workers were about low pay at Shelter.
