Emmanuel House Support Centre is delighted to announce the appointment of Isabella Harriss as its new Chief Executive, from 5th November 2025, following the retirement of CEO Denis Tully.

Isabella joins Emmanuel House from the national homelessness charity Housing Justice, where she served as Programme Director. With a career rooted in homelessness and drug and alcohol recovery support, Isabella played a crucial role in coordinating emergency accommodation services across the UK in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“With rough sleeping sadly reaching new highs and the wider homelessness crisis affecting thousands of people in Nottingham, we know that there is a huge need for the vital services that Emmanuel House offers,” said Isabella.

“Building on Denis’ incredible legacy of hard work and compassion, it is the privilege of my life to lead Emmanuel House. The root causes of homelessness and rough sleeping are complex, but hope, kindness and love are central to a person’s recovery – and that is what we will continue to offer."
