Community Integrated Care Appoints Mandy Wearne As Chair Of The Board Of Trustees

Community Integrated Care, one of the UK’s largest and most successful social care charities, has today confirmed the appointment of Mandy Wearne as Chair of its Board of Trustees.

Mandy has been serving as Interim Chair for the charity since March 2024, following the departure of the organisation’s former Chair, Libby Raper, who led the Board for five years.

During her time as Interim Chair, Mandy has been widely praised for her dedication, insight, and leadership— with her appointment receiving unanimous support from Community Integrated Care’s Board of Trustees.

Mandy first joined Community Integrated Care in June 2021, bringing a wealth of experience from across the health and social care sector.

Her background spans NHS leadership, clinical practice, public health, and senior management. She also currently serves as a Non-Executive Director at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Jim Kane, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We are thrilled to appoint Mandy as Chair. Her robust guardianship over the last year, and her support and guidance in previous years has been invaluable to our charity’s success. Not only is Mandy supportive of our ambitious goals, she also provides great challenge and governance that ensures our decisions and actions are in the best interests of everyone at this charity.”

Mandy said: “It has been a real privilege to serve Interim Chair over the last year, and I’m very proud to now take on the role permanently. It’s an exciting time for our charity – the plans we’re working on, with our fantastic leadership at the helm, will help us thrive and grow despite the challenges we face in our sector. Of course, none of this is possible without our incredible teams and the people we support, who are of course at the heart of everything we do.”
