Members’ Council
Our Members’ Council is made up of elected representatives of members and also nominated members from key local partner organisations.
The Council’s role is to make sure that the board of directors, which retains responsibility for the day to day running of the Trust, is accountable to the local community.
They also oversee the running of the Trust and help us shape future strategy as well as play a role in issues such as communications, diversity and involvement.
