Trustees Unlimited is thrilled to announce that Andy Fletcher has been appointed as Muscular Dystrophy UK’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (MDUK). This appointment marks a significant milestone for the charity and reinforces the organisation’s commitment to driving impactful change for those living with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions.

Andy Fletcher brings a wealth of experience to MDUK, having previously served as the CEO of Together for Short Lives. This national charity supports children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Under his leadership, Together for Short Lives underwent significant growth and development, enhancing its support services and advocacy efforts. His experience in the charitable sector, particularly in leading organisations dedicated to supporting those with life-limiting conditions, makes him an ideal fit for MDUK’s mission to improve the lives of individuals affected by muscular dystrophy.

Upon his appointment, Andy Fletcher shared his enthusiasm and vision for his new role, stating, “I am both honoured and excited to join Muscular Dystrophy UK as Chief Executive. I have seen first-hand the impact that muscular dystrophy can have, not just on individuals but also on their families and communities. It can be exhausting, stressful, and lonely. My priority is to build on the fantastic work that has been done to date and to ensure that the charity continues to provide the best possible support to those who need it.”

MDUK’s Board of Trustees expressed confidence in Fletcher’s ability to steer the charity into its next chapter. “We are delighted to welcome Andy Fletcher to Muscular Dystrophy UK,” said Brian Nissen, Chair of MDUK. “His extensive experience and deep commitment to improving the lives of those with life-limiting conditions will be invaluable as we continue to push for advances in research and care.”
