YMCA Liverpool’s Board of Trustees is made up of a range of people with skills and experience in commissioning, health, finance, law, education, retail and community engagement. The Trustees are responsible for the overall management of YMCA Liverpool, its strategic direction and decision making. Trustees are recruited in response to an identified skills gap following a rigorous external recruitment process.
New Trustees are provided with a thorough induction into their role, meeting with the Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team. Continuous training includes visits to YMCA Liverpool Services and briefings from key members of staff. Trustees are given training on their legal responsibilities and also sign an agreement that sets out YMCA Liverpool’s expectations of their role and responsibilities.
