Board Members and Trustees
Steps’ Trustees, like all charity trustees, have overall responsibility for the organisation. They ensure that we carry out our purposes for the public benefit, that our resources are managed responsibly and that we comply with statutory accounting and reporting requirements. They are all volunteers and bring their own experience and skills to bear in carrying out their duties. The Board of Trustees meets four times a year and the Finance Committee meets every six weeks.

Harinder brings commercial expertise into the charity, looking at ways the charity can optimise costs whilst bring new ideas to the table.
