VIBE Youth CIC proudly announces the appointment of three new Non-Executive Directors and three inner circle members, strengthening its mission to ensure every young person has the right to a positive future regardless of their background.
Joining Ian Price and Zack Haider on the board as Non-Executive Directors are Emma Davies, Rebecca Francis, and Liz Rees, who bring an impressive breadth of experience spanning mental health strategy, commercial leadership, and strategic communications. Supporting the board as founding members of VIBES Inner Circle, the newly formed advisory panel, are Lauren Hole, Lawrence Winmill, and Catherine Pratt, each bringing a wealth of knowledge in HR leadership, business strategy, and technology-driven innovation.
Harnessing Expertise for VIBES Mission 
Co-Founder and CEO Karen Henry expressed enthusiasm for the new appointments:
“Following an outstanding recruitment process, we were humbled by the talent and expertise of the individuals who applied. We are super excited to welcome new directors to our board and our advisory panel, VIBES Inner Circle. Their collective experience will help drive VIBES mission to expand our services and create meaningful impact for young people who unfortunately are often let down by the people or systems that are there to support them”
Each new member brings invaluable expertise that aligns perfectly with VIBES vision:
– Emma Davies, a seasoned leader in psychological wellbeing services, will enhance VIBES strategies for youth mental health, ensuring evidence-based interventions that are trauma-informed and accessible.
– Rebecca Francis, with her expertise in commercial strategy, finance and ethical business growth, will provide strong governance to ensure sustainable expansion while upholding social impact.
– Liz Rees, a communications strategist with a history of leading high-impact campaigns, will amplify VIBES presence, ensuring engagement with communities and stakeholders.
