Tarner Trustees
Meet the Tarner Community Project committed, skilled board of trustees who oversee governance, financial stability and strategic direction for the charity. Trustees meet bi-monthly to support the CEO to ensure the charity meets its objectives and make progress with future endeavours. Trustees are from a mix of charity and corporate sectors and bring their expertise to the organisation on a voluntary basis and therefore this work is unpaid.
