Workshop 2009 – Patrick Cox
Patrick Cox was born in Dublin, Ireland. He started out as a development tool maker engineer and has 13 years experience in prototype and development in both the motorcar and consumer goods industries.
Patrick is a relative newcomer to the charity world and founded Male Cancer Awareness Campaign in 2005. The charity is daring and hard-hitting, raising awareness and education of male cancer. The charity was nominated for Britain’s most admired charity in 2007 for innovation. He is still heavily involved as volunteer CEO and is deemed a world testicle running expert.
In late 2007 Patrick founded his second charity, the Small Charities Coalition and is the Chief Executive. He said: “Necessity is the mother of all invention. I founded the Coalition to provide innovative solutions to the direct problems that small charities face”.
