Each Trustee brings to the organisation a wealth of experience, along with individual skills that are utilised for the benefit of the organisation as a whole. Each member of the Board gives their time voluntarily, being driven by the firm believe that the work of the Association is paramount in assisting people with learning disabilities.

Some members of our Board have family members with a learning disability who may live in accommodation managed by the Association. The Board positively encourages membership from individuals who have such family contacts. This helps to enrich the culture of the Association. The Association is also working towards enabling customers to take an active role on the Board of Trustees.

Members are elected to the Board on an annual basis through the Annual General Meeting. If you would like to know more about the role of a Trustee and/or information on how to join the Board, then please use the link to contact us.
