Trustees and Executive Committee
Youth Federation seeks to work with a variety of Trustees who represent our geographical areas and our areas of work. Our Board has a wide range of skills and experience, all of which have helped us shape our emerging and successful strategy.
Chris Hindley, Chief Executive, (pictured left) says, "I am immensely proud of the charity and the enthusiasm of both the staff team and the Board. The value of an engaged and visionary Board cannot be understated in driving forward the charity. The Board at the Youth Federation has a wealth of knowledge, skills and passion about improving the lives of young people. Whilst the staff and volunteers are the life blood of the charity, the Board provide the heart beat to drive us all forward to continual improvement."
