About the Trustee role

Trustees have an important and interesting role within charities to ensure that the organisation is well run and fulfils all its current and future commitments to its beneficiaries.  Mind in Harrow’s trustees meet 8 times per year on Monday evenings and, as we are a company limited by guarantee, trustees are also directors.

Our Strategy 2014-20

We aim to reach more young adults 18-20 years old, offer more timely support to people in crisis and early help to prevent people from needing long-term mental health services. We want to tackle the multi-discrimination and stigma which people can experience in their daily lives.  We plan to diversify our income sources further by opening more charity shops, moving into managing rental property and developing a commercial training service.
