George Butler

Chair | Board Member


George Butler is an award winning reportage illustrator focusing on current affairs. His drawings, predominantly for the British press, have taken him to Afghanistan and Iraq, Tajikistan and West Africa. However, it was the people he met during the war in Syria that captured his imagination, and his heart. And, with three friends he started the Hands Up Foundation which has raised over £5million supporting Syrian doctors and teachers in the region. 

He is a SDG Goalkeeper, chosen by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a TEDX Speaker and his work is held in the National Archive at the V&A.
