A team of English and Romanians in Cernavoda manages the charity on a day to day basis.
In Romania, the alliance is headed by the director David Savage MBE, Ben Wells and two fulltime Romanian staff.
The mix of Romania and British management brings the best of both countries for the benefit of the young adults involved in our projects. A growing emphasis is on the ideas of the young adults who are becoming more implicated in the running of the charity and the choices made. The team is supported by a committee in England consisting of six professionals from different fields, who act as honorary Trustees, each of whom have experienced working with the charity in Cernavoda.
In 2003, Queen Elizabeth II awarded David Savage the MBE, for his work with disadvantaged children in Romania. This was a great personal accolade but also a recognition for all the hard work by all the staff, volunteers and supporters of the charity to help improve the lives of the under privileged youth in Cernavoda.
This was complimented in 2006 when Ben Wells was awarded the Beacon Fellowship prize of Young Philanthropist of the year, another recognition for all the hard work that people put in running Nightingales.
