THE BOARD

As with all charities, we would not exist without the dedication, support and skills of our trustees.

They

Protect the interests of every member.
Ensure that the charity runs with both the law and the charitable aims laid down in our articles.
Ensure that charity keeps its vision and mission central to all we do.
Plan and think strategically to ensure that the charity is sustainable, viable and can continue to thrive and grow to meet the needs of the community.
