About Edward lloyd Trust
BackgroundThe Edward Lloyd Trust is a registered charity that was established in 1988, when John Lloyd, the current Chairman worked with Pam Lawrence, the previous Chief Executive, to develop the organisation. At that time, the focus was bringing people out of long stay hospitals, to provide a home for them in the community. Over the years the organisation has grown and developed and now provides a range of different types of support to enable people to live as independently as possible and to enjoy life to the full.
Board of Directors
The Board has eight directors who are able to provide expertise in social care, business development, organisational development, carers’ perspective, housing policy, finance, strategy and policy. The local directors also align themselves to a small number of Trust services and undertake visits, get to know the people who we support and the staff who provide services.
The directors are:
John Lloyd (Chairman)
John Birkmire F.C.A
Pat Roycroft BSC CQSW
Peter Crichton BA
Jean Ollerton MA CQSW
Eddie Gorman
Nick Price BA MA
Jane Gallagher
The Board meets every quarter and discusses progress reports, developments, strategy and the performance of the organisation. Each year they hold a strategy day to review what has happened and the general direction of the organisation in the coming year.
All directors are registered with the Charity Commission and have had CRB checks.
