Our Board of Directors, and its various committees, provide strategic direction to the Trust, and its members provide the scrutiny that enables the Trust to fulfil its ambition and make decisions regarding the needs of people we support. 

Over the past 12 months there were some changes on our Board.

Sharon Mays was appointed as Chair in October 2021, replacing Mike Potts.

Dr Olayinka Fadahunsi-Oluwole was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in June 2021.

Sandie Keene, a Non-Executive Director, left the Trust in December 2021.

The Board of Directors works closely with our Council of Governors who hold our Non-Executive Directors to account, ensuring that the interests of the Trust's members are taken into account and by helping to shape our plans for the future.

Our Council of Governors are elected from our members. Anyone can become a member of the Trust and get involved in the work we do.

You can read more about the work our Board of Directors and Governors have done over the past year in our Accountability Report on page 24 of our Annual Report and Accounts.
