About this speaker
Natalie has spent the last 14 years working in the Voluntary Sector, predominantly managing Drugs and Alcohol services across Yorkshire and Humberside. Her roles for DISC and CGL involved working in partnerships to manage services that supported vulnerable individuals, both in the Criminal Justice System and in the wider community, to help them access treatment for their addiction and begin their journey to Recovery.
Natalie moved to St Anne’s Community Services to take on the role of Area Manager, where her portfolio of services spanned across Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield. These services included Mental Health Supported Living, Alcohol Detox and Rehab, St Anne’s Resource Centre Homelessness Service, Bevin Court Hostel in Sheffield for Homeless Men and the following services within the Forward Leeds Consortium; Harm Reduction, Housing and Alcohol Detox Teams.
Natalie has been working as part of the Leeds Street Support Team representing St Anne’s Resource Centre and re-launched the service last year to ensure its integral position in the city. Her vast experience of partnership work, change management, performance management and delivering and shaping services have enabled her to see real positive change and fantastic outcomes for those most vulnerable.
Natalie is proud to be able to bring her knowledge and experience to enable her to continue this work as CEO of Simon on the Streets and lead the organisation in tackling homelessness, contributing to policy change and providing support to the most vulnerable in our society.
