charity trustees

our board of trustees



educational trust is legally governed by a board of charity trustees who oversee all areas of the charity’s work. All of the original trustees that were appointed when Eastside first became a registered charity, remain as trustees today and have since been joined on the board by two additional members. Each of our trustees also sit on one of Eastside’s five stakeholder groups made up of; Young People, Volunteers, Friends of Eastside, Local Families and Teachers. The stakeholder groups help to inform our work and continue to shape Eastside's projects and policies. In addition, Eastside has an advisory panel of specialist consultants with a wide range of experience in arts, education, finance, human resources, the media and charity law.
