We are delighted to introduce our new Chief Executive, Ruth Parker.

Ruth brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of charity leadership and governance, and will be overseeing Emmaus North East’s operations, developing a new strategy and helping our charity to thrive and grow.

Ruth said: “I am delighted to have joined Emmaus North East as the new CEO. I have spent the last 6 years of my career as a CEO of  North East based charity Victims First Northumbria. I have a passion for supporting those who are vulnerable and ensuring they are supported to make positive changes to their lives. I am excited to work with the trustees, staff and companions to lead Emmaus North East on its next stages of development. I would also like to thank all of the people from other Emmaus communities who have made contact with me to offer support and advice.”

We are sure you will join us in offering Ruth a warm welcome.
