Meet our Trustees

Our Trustees are ultimately responsible for the charity, its assets and its activities.

We have a diverse board of Trustees who are leaders in their fields, appointed because of their commitment to mental health and their experience and skills, which enable them to undertake the responsibilities of trusteeship of a professional and complex charity. They ensure we make the best use of our funds and continue conducting world-class research and activities exclusively to pursue our charitable objectives. They play a vital role in ensuring the proper procedures and policies are in place to effectively manage the charity’s resources, provide a long-term vision, and protect our reputation and values.
