Trustees

Community Southwark is governed by a number of company directors, collectively known as the Board of Trustees.

Trustees are elected at Annual General Meetings.

Our Board of Trustees is represented by a number of individuals who have extensive knowledge of Southwark’s voluntary and community sector and bring a diverse mix of skills to the board, including: legal, finance, health, local residents, employment and training.

The board meets on a quarterly basis to discuss the strategic direction of the organisation, financial matters, operational and human resource issues.
