About this speaker
Ollie is the Director of Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM) – a national coalition of Clinks, Collective Voice, Homeless Link and Mind formed in 2009 to transform services, systems and policy for people facing multiple disadvantage.
MEAM runs the national MEAM Approach network (currently formed of 42 local areas) and has been pleased to work alongside the Fulfilling Lives and Changing Futures programmes. MEAM staff provide a range of support and training to local areas, helping them to develop and strengthen partnerships, tackle systemic challenges and develop the leadership, cultures and skills needed to drive change. Our policy programme draws on our practical experience, helping to shape government policy and investment.
Prior to MEAM, Ollie worked at Homeless Link as Head of Policy, and before that on specific projects related to housing and migration. He has a strong interest in public policy and has held positions in local government and at a policy consultancy.
