After her massive run in the journalism and broadcasting sector, she founded Childline in 1986, a children's charity. Sir Peter Wanless, CEO of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children or NSPCC, responded to the news of her cancer on Sunday as he spoke on behalf of Childline's volunteers, staff, and supporters.
"Esther’s tireless commitment to Childline and the wider NSPCC over the years is truly inspiring and the positive impact that’s she had on children’s lives is unimaginable." he said as he sent his love and best wishes to the legend.
