Spectrum.Life and ISPCC Announce New Charity Partnership

Spectrum.Life, a global leader in digital whole-of-health solutions, and the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC), announce their new strategic partnership, effective through the end of 2025. As part of this collaboration, Dr. Emelina Ellis has been appointed Chair of ISPCC's Clinical Advisory Board, bringing her extensive expertise to further the charity’s mission of protecting and empowering children and young people. 

Through this partnership, Spectrum.Life will support the ISPCC with a range of fundraising events and volunteering efforts while also offering mental health support to the organisation’s staff and volunteers when needed. In addition, Dr Ellis, who serves as Spectrum.Life’s Chief Clinical Officer, will lead the Clinical Advisory Board in shaping and advancing ISPCC's clinical offerings, including the Childline listening service and the Childline Therapeutic Support Service (CTSS), ensuring they remain inclusive and responsive to the evolving needs of vulnerable children. These services provide confidential, accessible support to children and families, delivered through phone, online chat as well as in-person settings like homes, schools and community centres. 

Spectrum.Life founder and Executive Chairman Stuart McGoldrick emphasised the significance of this new charity partnership: “We have chosen ISPCC as our charity partner because of its unwavering dedication to protecting and empowering children - a cause that resonates deeply with our own vision to change and save as many lives as possible. Supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing is foundational to creating stronger, healthier communities, and that’s why this partnership matters so much to us. I’m incredibly proud to also see Dr. Emelina Ellis take on this role, bringing her expertise and passion to an organisation I deeply admire. We are proud to support the ISPCC in their mission to protect childhood and to ensure that all children have the right to lead better, happier and safer lives.”  

Commenting on the new charity partnership, John Church, ISPCC Chief Executive, said: " Being chosen by Spectrum.Life as their charity partner is a profound honour for everyone at ISPCC, especially given our perfectly aligned values and mutual commitment to enhancing children’s lives. Our mission is straightforward yet vital: to protect and preserve childhood. We are also thrilled to have Dr. Ellis join our Board. Her passion for mental health and her dedication to ensuring everyone has access to the care they need, including children having access to the support they need, will be invaluable as we continue our work and continue to further strengthen the services we provide." 

Commenting on her appointment, Dr. Emelina Ellis, Chief Clinical Officer at Spectrum.Life, expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm for taking on this vital role: “I’m deeply honoured to be appointed as Chair of the Clinical Advisory Board at ISPCC, an organisation that is highly regarded for its dedication to protecting children and where ensuring their wellbeing is everyone’s priority. As a mother, a healthcare professional, and a passionate advocate for mental health, I am thrilled to contribute to an organisation whose mission aligns so closely with our work at Spectrum.Life. Our mission is to save and change lives by investing in the health and wellbeing of people across their lifespan, including children and young people. I am committed to ensuring that every child and individual has access to the care and support they need to thrive.”
