Annie Norton is the Interim CEO at Bexley Voluntary Service Council (BVSC) where she provides strategic leadership to strengthen the voluntary, faith and community sector across the boroughs of both Bexley and Greenwich. She brings extensive experience across the private, public and community sectors, with a very strong track record in system leadership, organisational development and partnership working. Annie has led multiple complex programmes focused on improving service quality, driving collaboration and delivering sustainable change. She is committed to ensuring the VCFSE sector plays a central role in addressing local challenges and improving outcomes for local residents. She believes that there is a particular need to build on previous collaborative work across the system so that the VCFSE sector is genuinely treated as an equal partner and is strategically enabled to do what it does best, i.e. co-design and execute changes that matter most to local people.
