Our Trustees
The Trustees are professionals who volunteer their time and skills and take ultimate responsibility for the charity’s governance and strategy. They have oversight of the charity’s finances, legal compliance and risk management. They identify risks to the charity and safeguard its assets. They promote the charity’s work and ensure that it meets its charitable aims and operates in the public interest.
The board works particularly closely with the Director, providing invaluable support and knowledge which underpins the charitie's success.
