New CEO starts work at Providence Row
Providence Row, a leading London homelessness charity, appoints Pamela Orchard as their new chief executive.
Pamela will lead a team of over 60 staff and volunteers at the East End charity which works with some of London’s most vulnerable adults.
Most recently Pam served as Deputy CEO at Edinburgh Cyrenians. She has over 20 years’ experience in the sector, having specialised in volunteer development and corporate community responsibility at the Volunteer Centre in Edinburgh. She was previously the training programmes manager at the YMCA.
Pam is looking forward to her new role with Providence Row and her return to London: "It’s an exciting time for the charity and I am delighted to lead the team. We will continue to develop Providence Row’s vital work supporting some of London’s most vulnerable and excluded people, helping them move from crisis into a more stable, secure life."
One of Pam’s first projects will be to lead the development of a new centre, due to be finished in January 2012. It is planned as a training facility and workshop space to help people gain skills for employment.
Providence Row tackles the root causes of homelessness to help people get off, and stay off, the street. Last year it helped over 6,000 people. The charity offers crucial help with mental health support and housing and also runs trainee schemes to help homeless and ex-homeless people to build their self esteem.
