Nicola Leavesley

Nicola has always been passionate about working where she can contribute to and make positive societal changes. Her background is in local government, and in more recent years, Nicola moved into the NHS, focusing mainly on mental health transformation. It was here that she truly understood the impact poor mental health has on people’s lives, their relationships and the environment they live in, and the challenges people face when accessing support for their mental health. Every day in Nicola’s role is so different! It can range from developing strategy with system partners to visiting clients in our supported houses. When she isn’t working, Nicola enjoys spending time with family in the Lake District, walking through the hills, regardless of the weather!
