The ExtraCare Charitable Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of two new trustees. Saqhib Ali and Pamela Stacey bring extensive experience in governance, finance, risk management and strategic oversight. Their combined expertise will play a vital role in supporting ExtraCare’s mission to create sustainable, supportive later-living communities.

Saqhib Ali is a seasoned finance leader and Non-Executive Director with more than 30 years of board-level experience. His career spans major organisations including BP, Lloyds Banking Group, Volvo, British Airways, Hertz and Deloitte, where he led major finance transformation, control improvements and performance initiatives across several global sectors.

Saqhib has also dedicated over a decade to NHS leadership, serving as a Non-Executive Director and Audit Chair at Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust. In these roles, he provided independent oversight of internal audit, regulatory compliance, financial control and organisational performance. His experience also includes oversight positions with Integrated Care Boards and Clinical Commissioning Groups, ensuring robust assurance frameworks within complex public sector environments.

Beyond his corporate career, Saqhib founded ZeroPA, a social impact lender, and serves as Chair of Madad UK, a charity supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. As a member of ExtraCare’s Audit Committee, he brings deep assurance capability and a strong commitment to safeguarding charitable resources.

Pamela Stacey joins the Board with an extensive background in governance, risk and compliance across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and major infrastructure programmes. As Founder and Principal Consultant at GRC Catalyst Ltd, she has led the development of enterprise-level governance and assurance frameworks for multinational organisations, helping senior leaders manage regulatory complexity with confidence.

Pamela also brings strong board and committee experience. She currently serves as:

Independent member of the Audit & Risk Committee at the Royal College of Physicians
Trustee and committee member for Audit, Risk and Finance at Forward Education Trust
Volunteer at the Association for Project Management

Known for her ability to simplify complex regulatory concepts, Pamela champions ethical leadership and robust compliance practices. Motivated by ExtraCare’s mission, she is committed to strengthening the charity’s governance structures to ensure they remain transparent, resilient and future-ready. Pamela will also serve on ExtraCare’s Audit & Assurance Committee.

Both trustees bring valuable insights and leadership to support ExtraCare’s strategy and long-term direction. Their expertise will help guide the charity as it continues to develop innovative, inclusive and high-quality communities for older people.

The ExtraCare team is proud to welcome Saqhib and Pamela to the Board, recognising the significant contributions they will make toward shaping the charity’s future.
