Prospex has a small but dedicated team of Trustees who are responsible for the direction and performance of the charity. They make sure that all is as it should be and provide the necessary management and monitoring of staff activities.
The Trustees meet formally four times a year but take a hands on approach and are very involved in the weekly life of the charity. We are grateful for their input and the time they give to this voluntary position.
