The Team – Headway Southampton

Tim Lockwood
CEO

Tim Lockwood worked as a Police officer for Hampshire Constabulary where he helped to develop the very successful PPO (Priority and Persistent Offender) scheme. During this time he worked closely with a number of charities and eventually left the Police to take up a senior management role in one of them. Tim has now amassed over 16 years of senior management experience in the charity sector. He first started managing community charities before working for a ground breaking Cancer Charity. Tim specialises in growing organisations through strategic leadership and a passion to see charities grow in their objectives to reach those they serve. Over a 16 year period, Tim has worked to reshape and envision a number of charities and has successfully seen those charities grow in size and influence. In 2020 Tim moved to Headway Southampton to take up the role of Chief Executive.
