The National Stepfamily Association and Parentline have appointed
Susan Littlemore as communications manager in the wake of the merger of
the two charities. Littlemore will report to chief executive Dorit Braun
and will head a three-strong communications team. She will oversee the
corporate branding for the charity, whose new name and identity will be
revealed this autumn. She was previously acting head of press at housing
charity Shelter.
