We are delighted to welcome Anna Holland as the new Chief Executive Officer of Home-Start Richmond, Kingston & Hounslow.

Anna brings extensive experience as a fundraising and strategy consultant, having worked with a wide range of charities and businesses to deliver organisational change and long-term financial sustainability across diverse settings.

Her appointment comes at a critical time for families across our communities, with rising living costs, increasing pressures on parents, and growing demand for early, compassionate support. Anna will lead the charity as it continues to strengthen services, grow its reach, and ensure more families receive the help they need, when they need it most.

Welcoming Anna, Alison Goodbrand, Chair of Trustees, said:

“I am excited to work with Anna, who impressed the team with her communication skills, her track record of transforming organisations, delivering successful fundraising campaigns, and her strong commitment to the values of Home-Start. We are looking forward to a new phase of delivering excellent support to the children and families in our community who need us.”

Anna Holland said:

“I am thrilled to be joining the team at Home-Start Richmond, Kingston & Hounslow and to build on the fantastic work of the charity. At a time when many parents are facing increasing pressures, Home-Start’s early, compassionate support helps families so that children can thrive. I am really looking forward to working with the team and our volunteers to grow our impact and to be there for even more parents and children across Richmond, Kingston and Hounslow.”

We would also like to thank Helen Hodges for stepping in as Interim CEO and wish former CEO Cristiana Camisotti all the very best for the future.
