Consider becoming a Trustee
Brent Carers Centre is a charity governed by a Board of Trustees.
Trustees volunteer their time to oversee and monitor the work and direction of Brent Carers Centre.
Some of our trustees have specific roles, such as governance (our Chair) and financial matters (our Treasurer). However, when there are big decisions to be made the board have to agree before any action can be taken; this ensures impartiality in how Brent Carers Centre sets its strategic aims and manages its core funds.
