Bags of Hope UK
Meet the team
Bags of Hope UK is managed by an experienced team of trustees.
Trustees are unpaid members of the management team and are responsible for setting the direction of the charity and ensuring that it meets its aims, objectives and legal responsibilities.
As a registered charity, we are accountable to the Charity Commission, as well as funding providers and the general public. For the first 2 years after the charity was established, our services were managed and delivered on a voluntary basis by the trustees. Due to the success of the charity, we have employed staff in order to keep up with the demand for our service, and to allow the charity to develop. The charity currently employs three part time members whose posts are funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
