Staff
The Executive Directors of ‘Something To Look Forward To’ are responsible for the strategic development, effective management, and ensuring long term sustainability of the charity.

Andy Coldron

Andy has a background in Design and Marketing working for conference, exhibitions and live events companies.
For the last 24 years he has run his own web design company in Cambridge, creating hundreds of websites and enewsletters for corporate clients worldwide.
Andy now specialises in building websites for charities as “the people involved with charities are just way nicer to work for”.

Francesca Abery

Francesca has a Masters in Social Work and joined her family’s charity in 2017 as the Service Development Manager. Following her mother Fiona passing away, Francesca took on the role of Managing Director in 2021 and now leads the charity in her mothers memory. She is proud to develop the charity and continue her mother’s legacy by improving the lives of thousands of people affected by cancer poverty. When Francesca isn’t working you will find her doing CrossFit to keep both her mind and body, happy and healthy.

Holly Kingsley
Relationship Development Manager
Holly has had a long career in business development and when not working she is a passionate gardener, florist and is an advocate of nature and green space. After losing her Mum to pancreatic cancer, Holly understands the importance of having things to look forward to during illness. She enjoys building relationships with businesses, organisations and individuals who donate gifts and experiences to help others and is highly motivated to work for a charity that makes significant impact to people’s lives. She also likes spreading some floral cheer in the office and having a good old chat about most things – especially plants!
In Memory
Fiona Coldron BCA – Founding Director
Fiona Coldron sadly passed away on Thursday 18th February, 2021, peacefully and surrounded by her family.
Fiona had first-hand experience of living with cancer since 2007 and knew the importance of having ‘Something To Look Forward To’. Together with her family, she made it her life’s mission to help others.
It was Fiona’s wish for her family to continue the charity and Fiona’s daughter Francesca and Andy now spearhead the service in Fiona’s memory.

Social Media Ambassadors
We are proud to be supported by a range of brands, influencers and bloggers who have been instrumental in helping us source gifts, experiences and essential items for those affected by cancer.
Cat Sims aka @notsosmugnow is an Instagram blogger covering the world of patenting, adulthood, relationships and mental health.
Cat created the #GiftMatch campaign which involves her only accepting gifts from brands if they donate the same or similar item to charity and we are honoured to be one of the recipients!
“There’s no denying it: influencer marketing works. It’s a win for the brand and the influencer but here’s the thing….Isn’t it possible to do more? To do some good? I founded the #GIFTMATCH campaign to turn a win-win situation into win-win-win because I wanted charities to benefit too”.
