The Maudsley Charity has appointed a new chief executive to head up the leading mental health organisation.
Sarah Holloway will take up the position in March following the departure of Rebecca Gray who spent nine years in the role.
She is currently Programme Director for the King’s Maudsley Partnership which works to improve children and young people’s mental health.
She therefore brings direct experience of working with the Charity, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London.
Maudsley Charity is a grant-making organisation that funds and promotes ideas, collaborations and teams that support those with mental ill health.
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.”
