Hope & Homes for Children provides support for children who have lost their families as a result of war or natural disaster. Established in 1994 by UN commander Mark Cook, the charity is supported by patrons such as Martin Bell, Lord Ashdown and Lord Carrington.
McLean heads the marketing and fundraising functions at Care International as head of publicity. Care, which aims to end world poverty through the improvement of conditions in Third World countries, has not yet appointed a successor to McLean.
A Care spokeswoman says the charity is likely to revamp its management team following McLean’s departure next week.
