Glenda is a former nurse and midwife with a 15 year career in the NHS before moving into the charity sector. At Turning Point she focused on sexual health, including the co-production of sexual health promotion resources alongside migrant women.

Glenda has a strong background of working with stakeholders within health and social care, including commissioners, NHS partners and other charities. She joined Terrence Higgins Trust on an interim basis before becoming Head of NHS Services in England and now Director of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. In addition to post-graduate qualification in public and sexual health, Glenda is now undertaking a PhD at Bristol Medical School exploring the drivers of HIV health inequalities and inequities in women of African heritage in the UK (funded by the National Institute for Health & Care Research and Health Protection Research Unit).

In her role, Glenda raises the profile of EDI across the charity through providing advice, support and constructive challenge to senior management and reporting progress at Board level. Through collaboration with colleagues, the charity is on a journey to become an anti-racist and anti-sexist organisation.
