Share This Interview

For this month’s Insights Interview, we were delighted to connect with an enlightening and inspiring individual responsible for the leadership and management of one of the UK’s largest charities – Chief Executive Officer of Cancer Research UK, Michelle Mitchell OBE.

Michelle’s career began in Parliament before she became an executive on the fast track to leading and transforming several not-for-profit organisations such as the NSPCC, Age UK, and the MS Society. As a result of her strong advocacy and commitment to making a global impact, Michelle was awarded OBE for her services to the charity sector. Her track record also includes extensive non-executive experience, such as NED at NHS England and a Trustee of the Young Women’s Trust and the King’s Fund.

With the cancer survival rate improving in the UK, find out what Michelle and her team have done to overcome the obstacles of the pandemic and what challenges are still existing for them post-Covid. Representing a payments purchaser, she also shares her opinion on the payments industry, her concerns on specific issues such as money laundering, and what she thinks the industry can do to support the charity sector.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?
