Our leadership team

Our Chief Executive and directors 

What we do day-to-day is managed by our Chief Executive, supported by a strategic management group of seven directors and our CEO. The directors are accountable to the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees. In addition, there is an elected National Forum which supports and advises the Board and champions the work of the charity.
