The charity, as part of its renewal and change, has increased the knowledge-base, experience and skills within its membership. The new Board of Trustees, recruited through open advertising and personal and professional recommendation comprise of individuals from a diverse background and wide experience.
Our Trustees bring first class experience of the public sector, from housing, psychiatric nursing, and social work education to the work and direction of the charity. In addition, our Trustees come from senior management, corporate finance and legal backgrounds. We recently welcomed a psychiatrist with close local practice and from the voluntary sector, individuals with direct experience of community based organisations.
We believe their skills and commitment will help the charity develop its vision and long-term strategy.
