Woodhead is new CEO at Living Streets

Living Streets has appointed Catherine Woodhead as its new Chief Executive. She is currently Chief Executive of Muscular Dystrophy UK, which she joined in 2016 as Director of Development before becoming Chief Executive in 2018.

The appointment comes after Living Streets’ current Chief Executive, Stephen Edwards, announced that he was stepping down in January after three years in post. He will finish at Living Streets on 26 April to take up a new role within external relations at Which? 

Woodhead will take over at Living Streets in August 2024, with Stephen Jefford acting as Interim Chief Executive.

Dame Jane Roberts, Chair of Living Streets, said: “Building on the success of our outgoing Chief Executive, this is an outstanding opportunity for Catherine to work with our committed staff and my fellow Trustees to develop and deliver our new strategy in the run up to our centenary in 2029, and beyond.”
