The Trustees

Caring Togethers’ Trustees serve voluntarily and pro bono; they have particular responsibility for strategy, quality, compliance, governance and oversight of management. They make sure the charity complies with legislation and all relevant regulations, and are responsible for safeguarding assets. Finally, they are advocates and ambassadors for the charity.

The board has established two committees to oversee critical elements of our operations:

• The Finance and Audit (F&A) committee which is chaired by Alison Griffiths; its other members are Stuart Evans, David Hipple and Donna Talbot. It is supported by the Director of Finance. View the terms of reference.
• The Quality Service and Delivery (QS&D) committee which is chaired by Christina Wells; its other members are David Hipple and Bertone Santos-Soccoro. It is supported by the Director of Operations. View the terms of reference.

The terms of reference of these committees are initially approved by the full board and are subsequently kept under regular review. Their meetings are reported back to the full board, and Chief Executive, Miriam Martin, routinely attends meetings of both committees.
