Our
Governance

A board of directors oversees the work, results and achievements of the company. The board members all have different professional backgrounds. They use their wealth of experience to help the company grow and make sure that the vision set by Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees is being delivered. The board meets regularly at Friends House, Swarthmoor Hall and sometimes elsewhere for away days. Board members are all Quakers.
Paul Whitehouse, Silas Price and Tony Clodd have recently joined the Board of Directors.
