The Board

My name is Khadijat Oluwatosin Adesina and people know me by (Khadi or Tosin).

I am a registered General nurse for over 5 years.
I have a degree in Accounting and Finance in 2009.

I have a passion for looking after people and I realised that helping people was a gift from God, so I went to study nursing and I have a post-graduate degree in Adult Nursing.

I further went to do my PGCE in teaching in 2023 and now have a teaching and assessment certificate in teaching.

I enjoy helping people from different backgrounds, as I said earlier, for me helping people is a gift from God, and people around me can testify to that.

I have a great passion for working with people who are facing any form of abuse.

I want to help them see the light again and help them identify themselves better than before, because any form of abuse is not nice at all and no one deserves to be abused.

I believe God has called me to use my gift for my people and I am answering the call of God.

I am honoured to be part of this great team.

Nadia has 19 years middle/senior management and leadership experience in the private, public and voluntary sectors within mental health, employment, well- being, probation and prison services.

Nadia holds a BSc Psychology and an MSc Forensic Psychology degree alongside an ILM Management qualification and a level 5 Coaching and Mentoring qualification.

Nadia has spent the majority of her career within the criminal justice system, working as a Regional Operations Manager across North West Prison Services within substance misuse and dual diagnosis. This has also involved developing services from inception and strategically leading services to exceed contractual key performance targets, procuring new business in new areas across the wider North region, resulting in her organisation winning awards in recognition of the accomplishments.

Nadia currently works for a large Social Housing Provider within the Agency Management Team managing leases, and management and support agreements with Third Party Agents who provide care and support and in some cases Housing Management to vulnerable adults within mental health, learning disabilities, substance misuse and domestic abuse services.

Nadia ensures Third Party Agents are compliant with all statutory and regulatory obligations, performance management and income maximisation.

Nadia previously served for five years as an active volunteer at a local mental health organisation specifically established over 35 years ago to address the cultural support needs of the BAME community.

Nadia is no longer an active volunteer with the charity due to other commitments, although she continues to have a passion for working with vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals to provide the right support, in the correct sequence that will support individuals to re-build self-esteem and confidence, thus empowering individuals to achieve their full potential.
