We are a not-for-profit organisation, but unlike a traditional Charity which has a Board of Trustees, we are a Community Interest Company (CIC) and have a Board of Non-Executive Directors (NED's). This Board is run by local leaders, business owners and professionals who use their skills, experience and contacts to help us manage our rapid growth and ensure our Governance processes are followed appropriately. You can see more about the people currently sitting on our Board of Directors on our Meet The Team page, but we always looking for senior professionals who would like to volunteer their time and effort to help us, whether as a full statutory Director, or as a member of our Advisory Board on a more ad-hoc informal basis.
