How we are run

Governance, structure and who answers for what

Three groups, three different jobs

The board sets direction and holds the executive to it. The executive runs the programmes. The advisory council is consulted on clinical and educational questions and has no decision-making power — worth stating, because "advisory council" is often used to imply otherwise.

Board of directors

Sets strategy, approves the budget, and is accountable for the foundation meeting its obligations. Above a threshold, no single person authorises an award.

Executive team

Runs the programmes day to day — assessing applications, disbursing assistance, and reporting back to the board on what happened.

Advisory council

Consulted on clinical and educational questions. Advisory only: it does not vote and does not approve spending.
Being answerable

What you can hold us to

Each of these is a published policy with a route for raising a concern — including about us.

Not yet published

We have not yet published our trustee register, our articles of association, or board meeting minutes. They exist; they are simply not on this site yet, and we would rather say so than leave the question open. In the meantime the people we do publish are on the team page, and anything here can be asked about directly.
