Anne’s career began in housing rights advice before moving to supported housing where she gained a reputation for great services that engaged and empowered service users.

After a successful spell in Adult Social Care commissioning, she was for more than a decade Operations Director at the largest rural housing association in the UK. She helped build an enviable reputation for high quality energy efficient homes and services.

Anne is an experienced voluntary non-exec director, in the not-for-profit sector, and is currently the Chair of Homeless Link and board member of Hightown Housing and Cluid Housing in Ireland.

She works independently as a management consultant and interim director where she supports organisations to transform services by animating their social purpose.

Our board of trustees leads our charity and is made up of volunteers. They make decisions as to how the Refugee Council is to be run and our overall direction.

Our amazing team of trustees have a diverse mix of knowledge, skills and experience. This allows them to make effective, informed choices about our future and deliver our mission.
