Louisa Woods

Head of Income and Partnerships

Louisa joined nurtureuk as Head of Income and Partnerships in April 2024. Previously she has worked in various charity sector and educational settings, often with vulnerable adults and young people and most recently as Director of a mental health charity in Bristol. Supporting SEMH needs has been a strand that has run throughout Louisa’s career and she’s very excited to be working in the nurtureuk team and joining the vision to ensure no child is limited by lack of nurture in education.

Outside of work, Louisa loves to cook (and eat), be creative, and spend time outdoors, usually camping.

What does nurture mean to you?

To me, nurture means having a safe and comfortable space to explore, learn and be myself, in the company of people I know care for me, accept me and empower me. I truly believe that nurture is absolutely fundamental to healthy development and ability to learn and enjoy learning.

What do you enjoy about working at nurtureuk?

I love the fun and inclusive atmosphere at nurtureuk. We celebrate each other’s achievements and everyone passionately collaborates to achieve our mission. We are mission led and making nurture the norm informs everything we do.
