How is ECHO managed and who are the Board of Trustees ?
ECHO is a charitable company. This means the trustees of the charity are also the directors of the company. The trustees are all volunteers. We also have a team of paid staff who carry out the day to day work for ECHO on behalf of the trustees. They are supported by a growing pool of volunteers who help across all our activities.
We have a long standing commitment to involving our participants both directly on the Board and through our Participant REP Group. We think this is an important part of being a well-run organisation.
Rep Group 2021
We try to ensure that at least 1/3 of our Board are ECHO participants and we provide additional support to ensure they can be fully involved.
The Board meets 4 times a year. There are also 4 sub-groups for money, quality, marketing and staff matters. The trustees are responsible for the overall governance of ECHO. They also make sure that ECHO fulfils its objectives as a charity and maintains its high standards.
We are very grateful to have an active and supportive Board of trustees who bring a wide range of experience to the organisation. However we still need new people to join the team. You can find out more about becoming an ECHO trustee by clicking here.
