Our Council of Governors
The Council of Governors, led by our Chair, is made up of elected members of the public, staff and representatives from partner organisations.
Governors are responsible for ensuring the views of our diverse local communities and members are considered in decisions about how we develop our services. They meet four times a year. Click here to find out more about Council of Governor meetings.
