Our trustees are the people that have overall oversight of Foothold. They are not involved in running Foothold on a day-to-day basis as we have a team of staff and volunteers that do this. However, our board of trustees collectively make decisions about the approach the Foothold will take and its future direction. They make sure that, as an organisation, we have the policies and procedures we need to ensure we’re complying with our legal obligations. They provide support, ideas and constructive challenge to our staff team to test our thinking and help Foothold to achieve the best it can for our community members and demonstrate the difference that we make.
