Adam Edwards
tREASURER
Adam has been a Trustee since Disability Africa first began back in 2011, having previously worked with founder Ric at children’s charity Disability Challengers. Adam, Ric and Jon's combined skillsets proved a winning formula at Disability Challengers and, among many other project successes, they worked together to raise £3 million for a new centre for disabled children and young people in Farnham, Surrey.
Following his role as Fundraising & Communications Director at Disability Challengers, and alongside becoming one of our trustees, Adam joined marketing agency SMSW Media as Digital Marketing Director. His role involves helping both B2C and B2B brands (e.g. Microsoft, Improbable, M&S, Gap) drive awareness and sales through advanced digital strategies and execution. Adam’s work at SMSW spans the UK, Europe, US, Canada and MENA regions. His specialist knowledge of data, creative digital strategy and cutting-edge targeting techniques has enabled his clients to gain major traction in both new and existing territories. As a Disability Africa Trustee and experienced marketer, Adam helps oversee fundraising comms and campaigns. He’s also always on hand to bring the latest digital know-how into our team.
In 2025 Adam extended his support to become Disability Africa’s Treasurer.
