Sarah Holloway announced as Maudsley Charity’s new CEO
Mental health leader, Sarah Holloway will become Maudsley Charity’s new Chief Executive in April, following the departure of Rebecca Gray, who led the Charity for nine years.
Sarah has a wealth of knowledge, experience and networks from a career focused on improving mental health services across the voluntary and public sector at both a national and local level. She has worked closely with Maudsley Charity and its key partners in her current role as Programme Director for the King’s Maudsley Partnership, a collaborative effort between South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London, to enhance children and young people’s mental health services.
Frances Corner, Chair of Trustees at Maudsley Charity, is delighted with the appointment.
Sarah impressed and inspired us in a competitive selection process. Her passion, understanding and experience in the mental health landscape and her commitment to working in partnership with others will help us leverage impact throughout our next strategic period and drive us closer to achieving our mission where everyone with a mental illness, without exception, gets the right care and support for them.
The Maudsley Charity has committed over £40 million in funding over the next five years to improve mental health services across South London and beyond, with plans to amplify its impact and extend its reach.
Sarah Holloway said:
I am delighted to be taking on this new role. As the largest specialist funder in mental health, we have a huge opportunity to generate innovation in practice and also to scale what we know works. Both will improve support and address longstanding inequalities for people living with mental illness in South London and beyond. We can only have impact through working in partnership, and I am looking forward to extending and developing our relationships, both locally and nationally.
Sarah joins the Charity at the beginning of April ready for the new financial year.
