Trustees of the CTCCT Trustees give their time, wisdom, energy, and expertise on a voluntary basis to our organisation. Our focus is centred on our members and the amazing people we work with, and our work is supported by our 7 Pillars: Participation, Community, People, Research, Education, Sustainability, and Smart Systems.

Currently the Board consists of four Trustees who meet formally 4 times a year with the therapists, and the General Manager. Agenda items include operations, health and safety, and financial management - as well as goal-setting and working towards our strategic priorities. In between these meetings, Trustees spend time contributing to ongoing policy development, strategic planning, and providing general support to the team on the ground delivering our programmes. Trustees may hold informal meetings as required either in real time, via Teams or on a conference phone call as appropriate. From time to time Trustees are also invited to represent the Choir at a variety of events and networking opportunities, and attend key choir events as board members.

Our Trustees have established a strong, sustainable, and growing organisation with a track record for delivering quality programmes that make a difference. After 6 years of steering the Trust, the founding Chair is retiring to focus on family. Going forward the continuing trustees (three) will continue the great work and plan strategically for our next 5 years of operation and beyond together with two new trustees (one of whom is intended to be the successor chair). A brief cross-over period between the incoming and outgoing chair is intended to create a smooth succession.

1. Chairing a not-for-profit organization, ideally with a background in law or business.
2. Strong networks for funding purposes and/or particular experience in diversifying revenue streams for a NFP.
