Today we'd like to give a big SHOUT OUT to our Trustees. Being a Trustee is an important role in the governance and administration of Medway Volunteer Workshop. A huge amount of detailed & time-consuming work goes on behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the Charity. Whether this is being compliant with Charity and other legislation through policy development & financial accounting. Or wider work in managing partnerships and relationships with local and national organisations. THANK YOU for all the work you do it really is appreciated.
