We are excited to announce the appointment of Edward Vitalis as our new Chair.

Edward, Chief Executive Officer of Invictus Education Trust, took up the position of Chair at the beginning of August, bringing a wealth of experience in leadership, governance, and financial management to the role. With a distinguished career spanning over two decades, Edward has a proven track record of driving transformational change and improving outcomes for young people. His experience in governance, particularly within the charity sector, coupled with his passion for social justice, makes him an ideal fit for our Youth Zone.

“We are thrilled to welcome Edward to The Way Youth Zone,” said Paul Snape, Chief Executive at The Way Youth Zone. “His expertise and commitment to young people align perfectly with our mission to provide a safe and inspiring space where young people can achieve their full potential. We are confident that Edward will be an invaluable asset to our charity.”

Edward Vitalis commented, “I am honoured and humbled having been appointed the new Chair of The Way Youth Zone. I am already particularly impressed with the dedicated team of staff who show pride in representing the charity. They understand that each young person who walks through our doors is unique, and their ethos is simple yet profound, “to transform lives”, not being content with the ordinary. This particularly resonates with me. Whilst I am here to lead, I am also here to learn. I am thrilled to have embarked on this exciting journey.”
