Governance, Management and Team

Cara has six distinguished Patrons. Cara’s Trustees, constituted as the Council of Management, provide strategic and policy guidance to Cara’s staff. 

The Finance & General Purposes Committee and the Nominations and Governance Committee, each made up of Trustees, report to the Council.

Cara is a charitable company, limited by guarantee with no share capital, and is registered with both the Charities Commission and Companies House. The full Council of Management meets twice a year. The Finance & General Purposes Committee and Nominations and Governance Committee meet regularly, as required, and their members are in close contact with Cara staff between meetings. The Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of Cara and its staff.
