The Foundation currently has a management committee composed of three director trustees. In addition, it has six trustees who help to inform and guide the decision making processes.
We are currently looking to expand our membership. If you are interested in helping the Foundation with it’s objectives please do contact us for further information and a chat. Who are we looking for? – keen supporters of Camphill who have a background in finance, law or entrepreneurship.
One of the central roles of a trustee is to get to know the beneficiaries. We do this by holding each (bi-annual) meeting at a community the Foundation has recently supported. In this way we see how projects develop and meet the people on the ground.
