Our Chair, Tom Flood CBE says: “We are fortunate to have a wide range of experience and knowledge in our board and they do a brilliant job in supporting the community foundation,” said Chair Tom Flood CBE. “But we are always looking to add to its experience and knowledge with a different type of trustee to what people might expect to see around a boardroom table.

“We’d like to see younger people applying, as well as applicants from some of the communities we fund because we’d like to benefit from the experience of people who have an understanding of the problems those communities face. We know there are people out there who want to give something back and have skills they can offer.”
