Our trustees are a dedicated group of professional and dynamic individuals who are passionate about driving the charity forward to consistently deliver a cohesive and progressive strategy which benefits all members. With many Trustees equally being members, the Board is first and foremost caring and empathetic to the memberships’ needs and as a result is passionate about ensuring the charity continues to support them. The trustee Board manages the charity’s finances and ensures it operates within the requirements of UK charity law. The Trustees govern the charity and meet four times in each year as well as contributing, where relevant, as part of different Project Teams alongside the Office Team.
