Liz Elwell - Director of People

Liz is the Executive Director of People at Mental Health Matters. Liz is responsible for leading the organisation's people strategy, organisational development, culture and engagement, ensuring that MHM continues to be a great place to work and a strong, sustainable organisation delivering outstanding mental health support.

Liz has built her career as a senior People leader across both the charity and commercial sectors, specialising in culture change, leadership development and building people focused organisations that are strongly aligned to mission and values. She is passionate about creating environments where people feel supported, valued and able to bring their full strengths to work. Liz believes that most people have far more talent and potential than they often recognise, and that the right culture and leadership can unlock this. She is committed to building a healthy, engaged workforce, knowing that when staff thrive, it directly drives better services, stronger impact and better outcomes for the people Mental Health Matters exists to support.

"I have always found my passion in the voluntary sector, where the work we do can make a real difference to the world. The support our teams provide every day is truly inspiring, helping people at their most vulnerable. Mental health is something so many of us experience, either personally or through those we care about, and I feel proud to be part of an organisation focused on making a meaningful impact in people's lives."
