The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) is a British child protection charity founded as the Liverpool Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (LSPCC) by Thomas Agnew on 19 April 1883.
Jimmy Saville's apartment
In 2013 Sir Rodney Walker, who was a leading figure of the NSPCC's Full Stop campaign, bought Jimmy Saville's Scarborough apartment, which Saville had turned into a shrine for his mother, to use as a holiday home for his family. Walker said he had been hoping to buy the property from the estate the year before, but deal was delayed after the scandal emerged. Walker said he was also left stunned to hear of the hundreds of abuse allegations against Savile - but it had not prompted any second thoughts about completing the deal. Walker and his wife already owned a property on the floor below Savile, and had been coming to Scarborough for 35 years. [1]
Patrons
Prince Andrew was patron of its Full Stop campaign aiming to end cruelty to children and to raise £250 million to that end. His name was later removed.[2]
Clare Hazell-Iveagh quit in 2020.[3]
