Board of Trustees

Hackney Playbus trustees act as advisers and supporters of the staff team in the charity's operations and the delivery of the charity's services and promote the interests of Hackney Playbus. This is a voluntary post.

Our trustees commit to support delivery on our co-produced strategic plans and support the staff team in putting these plans into action. Trustees use their individual skills to contribute to specific areas of the charity most relevant to their experience, knowledge, and interests.
