Sandra Brown

In 2000, former teacher Sandra Brown set up the Moira Anderson Foundation, a charity supporting those affected by child sexual abuse. Voted Scotswoman of the Year in 2005, she received the OBE for services to Child Protection in 2006.

The charity is named for a childhood neighbour who vanished in 1957. Where There Is Evil, Sandra's account of Moira Anderson's story, was a bestseller, and she also narrated Coatbridge, the true crime podcast that topped the UK Audible charts in 2024.
