Wildscreen announces next Charity Chair

Wildlife film charity, Wildscreen, has appointed Stephen Pomeroy as Chair of its Board of Trustees, with Poppy Mason-Watts also joining the Board as Trustee.

Pomeroy is the founder of Cavendish Consulting and his production credits include an Executive Producer role at Floodlight, an Oscar and BAFTA winning independent production company. In addition to his professional experience, he brings a long-standing commitment to conservation and animal welfare through his work with charitable organisations.

He has supported initiatives including the Global White Lion Protection Trust, contributing to efforts focused on species protection, habitat preservation and raising global awareness of endangered wildlife.

“The question is not whether storytelling matters to conservation — it does, more than ever. The question is whether organisations like Wildscreen can scale their impact fast enough, and build the kind of inclusive, globally connected community the next generation of storytellers actually needs. That is the work. The talent across the global film, documentary and natural history storytelling community is extraordinary, and it is a genuine pleasure to work with such an experienced and committed team at Wildscreen,” said Stephen Pomeroy.

“Stephen brings exactly what this moment requires — strategic clarity, creative credibility, and a genuine commitment to the voices we exist to serve. His commercial and leadership experience, combined with his deep personal commitment to conservation and ethical leadership, make him exactly the right Chair for this next chapter,” said Lucie Muir, Chief Executive, Wildscreen.

Poppy Mason-Watts has also been appointed to the Wildscreen Board of Trustees. Mason-Watts is currently Global Director of Impact and Partnerships at Project Dandelion and runs her own consultancy working with founders to develop and embed growth and marketing functions at impact-led startups. The two new appointments will work alongside the current Trustees to oversee Wildscreen’s next phase of growth, including the 2026 Wildscreen Festival in Bath and the expansion of its digital community storytelling platform, NatureStory, which launched in October.
