CEO
I have worked in leadership and management in the health and social care sector for over twenty years, including running two multi-site charities, sitting on a variety of Boards and Forums, delivering training and, where needed, providing clinical governance and strategic support and if necessary, crisis management to residential, respite, supported living, day care and community services. I am now thrilled to have the opportunity to join Heart of England Mencap and work alongside you.

Commercial Director
Becky has been with Heart of England Mencap since 2015. Having begun her career within a Local Authority, she worked as part of a shared services project to streamline the finance operations across multiple authorities. Becky is also a founder of a dog rescue and rehoming charity, started in 2009, which became a CIO in 2019. Having continued to grow they are now obtaining a premises and have built a strong network of volunteers and supporters. Running a small charity from the start, being involved in fundraising events, grant applications, and managing on incredibly tight budgets, made her realise that she wanted to work for a not-for-profit organisation where the work would make a difference to people’s lives.
