Our Trustees
What does a Trustee do?
Trustees are the volunteers who lead charities and decide how they are run. You may have heard them called board members or the board. Trusteeship is a great way of contributing to causes you care about and developing strategic and leadership skills at the same time.
Anyone can be a trustee, regardless of how junior or senior you are in your career, whether you’re in paid employment or not, regardless of your ethnicity, class, gender orientation, sexuality or any other difference.

The Trustees were photographed in front of the living wall in the playground at St Mary’s Primary School, next to our building. The playground is used for our after school clubs.
Governance
Since its foundation in May 2000, the Charity has been run by a small Board of Trustees who work pro bono. The Board is responsible for the safe and efficient running of the Centre and the prudent use of its limited financial resources. At the beginning of 2019, the Board also took on responsibility for continuing the Youth Programme which has been delivered from the Centre for over 60 years. The Board currently comprises four Trustees who bring a very diverse range of career and life experiences. Trustees regularly attend the Centre and meet formally five to six times per annum. The Charity’s Report & Accounts are filed annually at The Charity Commission for England & Wales (No.1084109) and Companies House (No.4000559).
