Introducing White Ribbon UK's new Chief Executive: Anthea Sully

We are delighted to welcome our new CEO, Anthea Sully who has joined White Ribbon UK today. Beginning her career in performing arts Anthea became increasingly involved in campaigning and this led to further study in International Human Rights Law.

Anthea comes to us after having worked for a number of charities and voluntary organisations, most recently working with people with learning disabilities. She also has experience as a councillor and non executive director of an NHS Trust.

Anthea was born in Leeds and recently returned to her native Yorkshire having worked in Peterborough and London.

Anthea says, "I am really excited to be coming to White Ribbon UK at this time.  There is a great foundation to build on and this gives us the opportunity to grow and develop our work.  I am looking forward to working with everyone so that we continue to make a difference in ensuring that women and girls can live their lives free from male violence and abuse".
