OUR TRUSTEES

The Officers of the Board and Elected Trustees are selected from member organisations at the AGM each year in November, by members of the Regional Forum. If you are interested in becoming involved please contact Judy Robinson for further details.

Co-opted Trustees are selected by the Trustee Board in order to ensure that the membership of the Board reflects the breadth and extent of the Forum's membership.

Simon Cale

Simon is from National Children's Centre.

I am Chief Executive of National Children’s Centre, Huddersfield. Our charity delivers a range of support services to children, young people and families in need in Kirklees and West Yorkshire.

The charity also supports me to link to Regional networks of voluntary, community and faith sector organisations linked to our work area. I mainly do this by supporting the Regional network which is operated by National Council for Voluntary Child Care Organisations (NCVCCO). Together we support VCS and faith groups working on children’s issues and encourage them to link through this network.

We successfully run seminars in the region on a regular basis on key issues for the sector as children’s services are changing within our Districts in the Region. Through this support we reach out to small and medium sized groups and successfully involve the larger charities in helping them through sharing their expertise and knowledge.

I feel we need to keep developing support for the sector through identifying and securing new funds that come through for infrastructure support and for running services. We need to keep demonstrating the effectiveness of our activities for communities in the Region to the key agencies that influence our futures.
