We are a small team that does a lot. Two part-time support workers run our activities with the help of 64 volunteers and we are proud to be an accredited Real Living Wage employer. Four trustees meet quarterly to oversee the charity: Mark Dent (Chair), Vincent Jasper (Treasurer), Martin Grech (Secretary) and David Standen, a former service user.
