I have been Chief Executive Officer of Inclusion North Community Interest Company (CIC) since 2017 and have successfully led the organisation through many challenges. This includes responding creatively to significantly rethink our delivery model during Covid lockdown while remaining true to our core mission, vision and values.
As Chief Executive Officer of Inclusion North, and before that of Grace House, I have been responsible for leading all aspects of operations of the organisation. This has included overseeing the work programmes of the organisation, supporting governance arrangements, all aspects of financial management, marketing and communications, human resources and strategic leadership.
At Inclusion North not only are our beneficiaries people with a learning disability and autistic people, but so too are our Directors and a large number of the staff team. Genuine inclusion and co-production are at the heart of everything we do. All our communications are produced in both Easy Read and plain English and I am skilled at adapting my communications to the needs of the audience. Our inclusive governance practice is something I’m especially proud of.
Current passions I am working on are good menopause information for people with a learning disability and campaigning alongside learning disabled people about health inequalities that lead to avoidable early deaths.
