Trustees

There is a board of nine trustees, the majority of whom are registered nurses. They meet quarterly to oversee the Fund’s administration and ensure the highest standards of governance. The trustees are also responsible for ensuring that the Fund’s long term strategy is consistent with the trust deed and our founder’s original vision.

The day-to-day management of the Fund’s business and the processing of grant applications is undertaken by our colleagues at the Trust Partnership.
