The Board
The Community Trust Board is made up of Directors and Non-Executive Directors. All Board directors have committed to uphold the seven principles of Public Life as set out by the Nolan Committee.
Role of the Board
The Executive Directors are responsible for running the organisation and for making sure that it delivers on its statutory obligations. They are also responsible for making sure that the Trust performs at the highest possible level – offering the best possible services to the people and communities it serves.
A Non-Executive Director is a member of the board who is not an employee but appointed for his/her expertise and takes a part in decision making at board meetings.
