As a leading charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs, United Response plays a critical role in enabling individuals to live more independent lives. The Trustee role is therefore pivotal, providing oversight, guidance and challenge, while helping to steer the organisation through its next phase of development.
We are delighted to have supported the appointment of four exceptional individuals to the Board:
