Havant and East Hampshire Mind is governed by a Board of Trustees They are responsible for overseeing all of the work we do as a charity.

Trustees apply when we have vacancies, and are voted onto the Board accordingly. They undergo an induction and orientation process. All Trustees must comply with the fit and proper persons test and declare any conflict of interests in line with Charity Commission guidelines
Our core areas of work are directed and influenced by our sub-committees which are led by the trustees according to their area of expertise, closely supported by key members of the Senior Management Team.
Each sub-committee is responsible for ensuring that the relevant strategy is being delivered and the organisational goals are on the way to being met through the achievement of the specified organisational objectives in each area of work. The sub-committees meet 4 times a year, and feed back to the Trustee Board Meetings.
