Our Governors

Our Council of Governors acts as a link between service users, carers, staff, the general public and the Trust's Board of Directors.

They support the Board of Directors in setting the long-term vision for our organisation, and hold the non-executive directors to account for the actions of the Board. Our Board of Directors has a duty to consult, and listen to the views of, the Council of Governors.

Job title Public Governor
About

My early development in social work, community work, & social care, began in the CCRL Lambeth during 1976 and culminated with recognition of presentations and awards. During the summer of 2019 to celebrate the diversity of the Caribbean Windrush arrivals into the UK in June 1948.

Here I became a lead staff member with several community liaison projects including a service providing accommodation for young people in care, and further to work along the social services to manage families with their diverse but unique experiences in those outside the care system.

During my time in public services, voluntary and charitable organisation, I have covered a range of Community care, housing provisions, such as resettlement homes, adult care, addiction, and drug rehabilitation centers.

My current responsibilities have involved me in shaping charitable organisations in M/H neurodiversity in the workplace, and a range of education settings.

I am committed to the challenges faced by the trust and extremely keen to be a part of the current Governing team at SLaM trust to continue its work both Locally, nationally, globally, hence to sure up the challenges ahead, and embracing the trust work involving a range of disorders and psychiatry mainstream support.

Outlining some of the benefits that I would bring to the governing body would be that of promoting inclusivity & diversity, but more importantly helping to champion its services by way of wider remit, particularly for men of colour, ethnic minorities, and those of the LGBTQ communities.

I am committed to sharing but also embracing the mainstream development and the future of the work that has shaped this inspiring trust, I feel that I would bring particular experiences gained through lifelong learning in specialists and generic fields centered around community resources.

Understanding how to support individuals within the DWP and its current Universal credit possibly change in housing policies that could affect more vulnerable applicants. At a time when homelessness, rough sleeping, and a lack of sustainable housing to support the vulnerable are increasing.
