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 and Stride (formerly known as the Bike Ride) is the main source of our income; its Coordinator works with a deputy and a team of Area Coordinators. The Trust has a long list of Patrons and, in accordance with the Charities Act 1992, there are currently five Trustees:
The Reverend John Cranmer
The Venerable Adrian Harbidge
Nicholas Jonas, OBE, DL
John Steel
Lady Appleyard
Executive Committee
Chairman Lady Joan Appleyard
Vice-chair Vacant
