How we are governed

Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees is legally responsible for the Charity’s governance and strategic direction.

Trustees are also the directors of the limited company under company law.

The Board is accountable for everything we do, setting the vision, values, strategy and policies for our activities and progress. It ensures that the Charity remains financially sustainable and appoints, advises and supports the Chief Executive, who leads our staff towards achieving our vision and purpose.

Leeds Hospitals Charity has 11 Trustees and two Associate Trustees, each of which is appointed for an initial term of 3 years. Trustees are able to serve a maximum of 9 years, which provides an opportunity for fresh perspectives, skills and experience to be included on a regular basis. We aim to have a Board that reflects our diverse communities and we actively monitor and continually strive to increase the Board’s diversity.

In line with our value of being Transparent, you can access our Trustees' interests:
