Connect with Jon Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive Chief Executive Jon Sparkes has been Chief Executive of Crisis, the national charity for people facing homelessness, since 2014. He is a member of the UK Government’s Rough Sleeping Advisory Panel and the Scottish Government’s Homelessness Prevention and Strategy Group, and chair of the Welsh Government’s Housing Support National Advisory Board. He is also a Trustee of the Centre for Homelessness Impact, and a Non-Executive Director of South Yorkshire Housing Association. Previously he was Chief Operating Officer of UNICEF UK and Chief Executive of SCOPE, the national disability charity. Jon also had a successful commercial career as Human Resources Director of the international technology firm The Generics Group. Leading Crisis is a privilege that brings with it a huge sense of duty to support people and achieve change. I have a life-long commitment to tackling issues of inequality, and I think that homelessness existing in the UK in the 21st Century is one of the scandals of our time. If we don’t care enough about our fellow citizens to ensure everyone has a home we are getting something seriously wrong. My brilliant team at Crisis will do all that it can to change this.
