Our trustees bring immense value to our charity by acting as the ultimate guardian of our purpose and ensuring its responsible operation.
Trustees are the people who lead Lydney Dial a Ride, collectively setting its strategic direction and making major decisions that align with our mission and benefit the public. They are legally responsible for governance, ensuring our charity complies with its governing document and all relevant laws, including prudent financial management and risk oversight. By bringing diverse skills, experience, and a commitment to the cause, our trustees provide essential leadership, accountability, and ethical stewardship, which is vital for maintaining our reputation and long-term sustainability.
Richard Edge – Finance Trustee
Being a volunteer trustee for Lydney Dial a Ride enables me to use my business skills in retirement. I can contribute to a charity that plays a significant role in providing mobility and access to people who need it in the Forest of Dean.’
