Rebecca White - CEO

Job Titles:
  • CEO
Rebecca White is the CEO and Founder of Your Own Place CIC. As a qualified secondary school teacher with years of experience working with people from all backgrounds as well as commissioners, politicians, business people and leaders, Rebecca exemplifies the successful combination of operational, strategic and business experience. What really drives Rebecca is social inequality. By the roll of a dice a person's life chances are dramatically altered. Homelessness is just one manifestation of this and until people have equality of opportunity Rebecca will work tirelessly to champion people facing disadvantage not of their own making. Rebecca believes that social enterprise provides a more sustainable, less philanthropic and more empowering business model that translates into the way people and communities work together as equals. This is why Rebecca volunteers with NASIP - to progress the social enterprise agenda and make a difference in a place she cares deeply about.
