As with all charities, we are governed by a committed team of trustees. They work on a voluntary basis and provide challenge to the staff team, set strategic direction and oversee our work, and ensure all we do is clinically and financially sound as well as monitoring our policies to safeguard the organisation and those we support.
They sit on our main board and each support additionally with other sub-committees and areas of work, often volunteering their time and skills to the various aspects of our work. We are always keen to hear from those interested in supporting us through these important roles.
