E3M Member Name:Anne Bren Title :Chief Executive Anne Bren is Chief Executive of Staywell and has spent more than 25 years working with the organisation and the communities it serves. She became Chief Executive in October 2026, bringing extensive organisational knowledge and experience of community-based support for older people. Anne is passionate about partnership working and prevention. She is particularly interested in how charities and social enterprises can move beyond being seen simply as referral destinations or supplementary services and become genuine partners in designing and delivering neighbourhood health and care. Through Staywell's work with local authority, NHS and primary care partners, Anne has seen the value of connecting clinical and statutory services with practical help, social connection and community support. Staywell's involvement in proactive anticipatory care, social prescribing and hospital discharge provides practical examples of this increasingly integrated approach. She is also interested in how established charities can continue to innovate, demonstrate their impact and develop financially sustainable models while remaining firmly rooted in the communities they serve.
