More than a year after David Cameron stepped down from his post in the wake of a crushing referendum defeat, little has been seen or heard of the ex-Prime Minister. So how does the man who was once tasked with running the country fill his days?

President of Alzheimer’s Research UK

One of the most high-profile jobs announced by Cameron in the wake of his resignation was his presidency of Alzheimer’s Research, which he took at the beginning of 2017. During his time in power Cameron had publicly supported the charity, launching a five-year £100 million Defeat Dementia fundraising campaign at a G7 event in 2014.

“Tackling dementia was a major focus while I was Prime Minister, and although improvements in attention and research innovation have been rapid, it remains one of our greatest health challenges,” Cameron said of the announcement.

The position is unpaid.

Autobiography

Cameron has also signed a book deal to write an autobiography – previously, all other books about Cameron have been unofficial accounts. The deal is with publisher William Collins, part of the HarperCollins empire, is said to be worth up to £800,000.

“I am looking forward to having the opportunity to explain the decisions I took and why I took them. I will be frank about what worked and what didn’t,” David Cameron said of his decision.

National Citizens Service chairman

Shortly after tendering his resignation as Prime Minister, David Cameron announced a role at the National Citizens Service. Cameron championed the beginning of the NCS, a voluntary personal and social development programme for 15–17 year olds, during his premiership, making it legal with the National Citizens Service Act in 2017.

This role is also unpaid.
