At The Hubb Foundation, we believe in community-driven change. As an independent, socially inclusive charity, our mission is to support families across Stoke-on-Trent – creating happy, healthy school holidays and brighter futures for children and young people.
Behind every activity, event, and programme we run, our board of trustees play a vital role in shaping and supporting everything we do.
What Do Trustees Do?
Trustees are sometimes the unsung heroes of any charity. They’re volunteers who give their time, experience, and guidance to ensure the charity stays true to its values and objectives. For The Hubb Foundation, our trustees play a vital role in:
- Providing strategic leadership
- Ensuring financial oversight and accountability
- Championing inclusivity and safeguarding
- Supporting our team and partners
- Shaping the long-term vision of The Hubb Foundation
Trustees work closely with our team to make sure that every decision made reflects our commitment to inclusion, impact, and community wellbeing.
