Our Governance

It is important to us that we carry out our work to a high standard, that both honours the contributions of people, organisations and supporters and promotes the wellbeing of all those involved in our programmes and spaces.

We want our governance to be a true reflection of our Christian faith and champion best practice in our organisational structures and processes.
