Our people

St Mungo’s strength as an organisation comes from the diversity of our people. We are diverse not only in our backgrounds but also in our skills and experience.

St Mungo’s strength as an organisation comes from the diversity of our people. We are diverse not only in our backgrounds but also in our skills and experience.

Our clients

Our clients have always been the heart of who we are. Their voices and experiences drive what we do and how we do it. We empower our clients to be actively involved in shaping their own support, services, our organisation and their communities. We have two groups for clients to input into St Mungo’s.

Outside In is a network of clients who play a crucial role in day-to-day decision making. They ensure that the work we’re doing in services and in our external facing work is effective and appropriate, centering the needs of people experiencing homelessness.

The Client Advisory Board (CAB) is our formal group of former and current clients. They work closely with our Chief Executive and Board, offering valuable insight into proposals for projects and services. The CAB meets regularly and guides the decisions that we take as an organisation.

Our staff, volunteers and apprentices

Without our people, we could not achieve what we do. We are proud to have many colleagues with lived experience of homelessness. We also rely on the dedication of our volunteers and apprentices. Almost 200 former clients have gained recognised qualifications through our apprenticeship since it launched in 2009. We rely on about 450 volunteers every year, who work alongside 1,500 colleagues.

We have a dedicated and talented team of Executive Directors, each responsible for different functions within St Mungo’s. Together, they oversee the running of the organisation. They are:

Emma Haddad – Chief Executive
