Third Sector group Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire have appointed Maddy Halliday as its new chief executive.

Previously chief executive of The Life Changes Trust and Stroke Association ( Scotland), Maddy has dedicated her career to the charity sector.

She succeeds Kenny Moffat, who retired earlier this year.

Maddy said: “It will be an honour to join the trustees, staff and volunteers of VANL.

“I’m passionate about promoting well-being and equality at a local level, and so I look forward to doing just that with communities in North Lanarkshire.”

VANL chair June Vallance, added: “We are delighted to have appointed Maddy as our new chief executive. I have no doubt she will help us to represent our member organisations and the wider third sector to create lasting change in North Lanarkshire.

“We are grateful to Morag Thomson and Jacqui Melville for their steady hands as acting CEO’S and to Kenny Moffat for his leadership of the organisation over the past 12 years.”
