Ida Forster

Governance and Data Protection Manager

Ida joined the Foundation in June 2025 as our Governance and Data Protection Manager, managing the charity’s governance and data protection function.

Ida brings extensive experience from across the not-for-profit sector, having held roles at the Charity Commission, the National Lottery, the Advice Services Alliance, and most recently as Divisional Operations Manager at Age UK. Her background spans compliance, project management, grant management, and operational leadership as well as governance, and she is passionate about the role of good governance in driving charitable impact.

Beyond work, Ida delights in all that London has to offer, from visiting art exhibitions to strolling through its historic streets and connecting with the diverse communities that bring the city to life. She’s also a fan of keeping active and enjoys cycling holidays, now made even more enjoyable with the help of an electric bike.
