Our Trustees
Our Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction of The Nightingale Cancer Support Centre. All Trustees meet regularly to receive updates and discuss all aspects of the charity; fundraising, finance, marketing operations etc. Each Trustee is also part of smaller working group to help streamline and advise the work of each department. Their voluntary work is invaluable to the running of The Nightingale.
