Board members are volunteers with a wide range of skills. Together, they offer scrutiny and support to KVA’s Leadership Group and staff.
'Through the work of the whole team, I have seen how expertise and genuine passion have come together to improve the lives of our community and the wider voluntary sector we serve.'
(Archie O'Neil, Kingston Voluntary Action Trustee)
