Robbie LeBlanc – Director, Major and Planning Giving
Robbie has lived in the UK for most of his life but was born in Louisiana into a family of farmers, fishers, and hunters. Having spent his childhood rescuing stray cats, dogs, birds, turtles, and other animals, he soon found his way to PETA US as a volunteer and a lifetime of activism began.
After moving to London and qualifying as an accountant, Robbie enjoyed a successful 10-year career at The Guardian newspaper. Since 2011, he has been leading the major and planned giving teams at PETA. Robbie and the team spend much of their time updating Vanguard Society and Augustus Club members on PETA’s latest victories, campaign developments, and the difference their donations are making for all animals.

Lily Baker – Major Gifts Manager
Lily joined PETA in 2024 after spending three months volunteering at a dog and cat rescue in Mexico. One of the highlights of her time there was assisting at a pop‑up spay/neuter clinic — knowing that the team was preventing future suffering was incredibly meaningful to her. Before joining PETA, Lily worked in community fundraising, supporting passionate advocates as they raised funds and organised events. She also volunteered in Sri Lanka, where she helped care for many sick and injured street dogs — an experience that deepened her commitment to animal protection.
Lily grew up vegetarian and became vegan after university for the animals. She considers it the best decision she has ever made, with her only regret being that she didn’t make the change sooner. She’s grateful to be part of the movement now and loves taking part in PETA demonstrations and connecting with like‑minded people who make the organisation’s campaigns possible.
