About us
While we are very small in comparison to some of the other County Trusts, we feel it is important to have a well-defined organisational structure.
The Structure
The Trust is run by an Executive Committee which meets three times a year. There are sub-committees for Grants and for Marketing and for Membership. The Ride & Stride (formerly known as the Bike Ride) is the main source of our income; its Co-ordinator works with a deputy and a team of Area Co-ordinators. The Trust has a long list of Patrons and, in accordance with the Charities Act 1992, there are five Trustees:
Corinne Bennett, MBE
The Rev. John Cranmer
The Venerable Adrian Harbidge
Nicholas Jonas, OBE, DL
