Meet our Board of Trustees

Our trustees ensure that the money we raise is used in the best possible way to support Children's Hospice South West.  

Our Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall control and strategic direction of CHSW. They meet regularly to discuss, decide and review our strategies and policies and receive reports and updates from senior managers. Our trustees work for CHSW voluntarily to make sure we’re doing all we can to reach and improve the lives of children, young people and their families.
