Hear from our Trustees
"As Trustees we aren't involved in the day-to-day running of the charity. The organisation has a wonderful Executive Board that oversees the operational side of things. Our role is to have strategic oversight as well as ensuring the quality and compliance of services, and effective financial management.
When supporters donate money to the charity, they want to know that it is being used properly, to fund effectively managed services. It's an honour to play my part in ensuring that for the communities we serve."
"Being part of such impactful work brings a profound sense of purpose, knowing that my efforts, and those of my fellow board members, directly benefit patients and families during their most vulnerable moments"
