Age UK Kensington & Chelsea welcomes new CEO Jess Millwood

We are delighted to introduce Jess Millwood as our new Chief Executive, starting in September. Jess comes to us from Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest, starting as a Forensic Advocate in a medium secure forensic hospital and finally as Deputy Chief Executive. Prior to that Jess worked in Campaigns and Global Crisis roles for Amnesty International at their International Secretariat. She has a strong operational management background and has played a key role in the strategic development of Mind in East London.

Jess is passionate about Human Rights and the values of inclusion, equality, dignity and being heard, particularly for the most marginalised and vulnerable in society – and we know she’ll be a great asset to Age UK Kensington & Chelsea at this stage in our development where we seek to further our role as the key service provider for older people and enhance the voice of older people locally.
