MEET THE TEAM
The hArt team includes a number of highly skilled professionals. Our Trustees include those with business, arts and teaching skills, as well as finance and HR experience The Board meets quarterly and is responsible for the overall financial and business management of the charity.
We have Consultants available with legal, fundraising and charity management/accountancy skills. We are looking to expand the Trustee board and broaden the skills we have, so if you think you might like to get involved, please contact either Chair of Trustees, Kevin Mann, or Founder, Annie Jeffery.
The Management committee deals with the day to day activities of the charity, and meets monthly.
