our team
Our strength lies in the people who guide, support, and shape our work. Our dedicated Board of Directors provide strategic leadership and ensures we remain true to our mission. Our partners bring expertise, resources, and collaboration, helping us deliver meaningful opportunities across schools and communities. Our Advisory Committee offers insight, challenge, and guidance, ensuring our programmes and services remain relevant and impactful. Most importantly, our Junior Committee gives young people a voice at the heart of decision-making, keeping us grounded in the experiences that matter most. Together, we are building brighter, more inclusive futures.
