Introducing Macmillan's Public Affairs team.
Gus has been at Macmillan since 2005 and has led various successful campaigns to help improve the lives of people affected by cancer, including the abolition of prescription charges, better access to benefits and the Cancer Reform Strategy.
Before Macmillan, he worked at Mencap as their Parliamentary Officer. He championed new duties on all public bodies to promote the social inclusion of disabled people as part of the Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
When he’s not managing Macmillan’s Public Affairs Team, Gus is a huge music fan and spends a lot of time going to gigs involving bands with obscure names.
Lucy has been at Macmillan since 2009 and works on the charity’s campaigns around fairer access to drug treatments, end of life care and better support for people living with and after cancer.
Before Macmillan, Lucy worked for a communications consultancy where she provided public affairs support to a variety of private, public and third sector organisations.
Lucy was named the Public Affairs Newcomer of the Year at the Public Affairs News Awards in 2009.
Jeremy Adams-Strump Public Affairs Officer
Jeremy joined Macmillan at the beginning of 2010 and works on our campaign on end of life care. He works with Katherine Lee to provide the Secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer (APPGC). Jeremy also coordinates Macmillan’s party conference activities.
Outside of work, Jeremy enjoys playing ultimate Frisbee, watching all sports, eating all foods, and listening to straight up gangster rap.
Geoff joined the team in May 2011. He leads Macmillan’s work on the Welfare Reform Bill, as well as campaigning to ensure cancer patients get better support to remain in work during their illness. Geoff also coordinates the Public Affairs team’s internship programme. Geoff has previously worked in both central and local government roles, and in public affairs for London Councils.
In his spare time Geoff enjoys playing and watching sport, as well as occasionally playing guitar with increasing incompetency.
Public Affairs Officer
Beth joined Macmillan in early 2010. She has worked on campaigns to end hospital car parking charges for cancer patients and to improve support and information, including support around returning to work.
Before Macmillan, Beth was working in Zambia for a small charity campaigning for better access to primary education. Prior to that she was Parliamentary Officer for the Royal Association of Disability and Rehabilitation where she campaigned for the right to independent living for disabled people.
Beth likes cycling, playing in parks, and listening to psychedelic afro rock.
Beth is currently on secondment with the Department of Health.
