Anna Maudsley - Trustee

About me:

I have over 20 years experience in the homeless sector, 15 years in Senior leadership roles working to tackle homelessness for leading charities in the city and county. This has included developing new initiatives for preventing abandonments and evictions in supported accommodation recognised as good practice by Homeless Link and taking on the role as Safeguarding lead and more recently joining the esteemed One Roof Leicester as a Trustee. I am committed to high standards of service delivery, safeguarding vulnerable clients from those who would exploit & abuse them and supporting the development of creative solutions to homelessness.

Why I am a Trustee of ORL:

I have witnessed the growth of ORL from inception to its current form and I see ORL as an organisation that holds true to its values and makes a difference, and I’m very happy to be part of an organisation committed to reducing homelessness.
