Meet our trustees
Trustees are the volunteers who govern Camtrust, and as a board we meet regularly to review the charity's performance, finances and strategy, making key decisions that help shape its future.
We come from all walks of life, bringing a range of skills and experience including finance, technology, fundraising and the arts, united by a shared commitment to making a real difference to the lives of adults with learning disabilities in our community. It's a rewarding role that goes beyond the boardroom, and we're always keen to hear from people who share our values and want to get involved.
