OUR TRUSTEES
Meet our trustees who provide advice, governance and support to ensure that the charity is legally compliant and ran effectively.
Trish, Chair of Trustees
Trish has extensive experience in a variety of settings including - social housing, the public sector, the policy environment and the voluntary sector.
Trish grew up in Bootle - the Swan centre was an ever present background in her life and many of her friends and family have accessed the services over the years.
Trish is a committed advocate for improving life chances, safety and the wider mental health of women and girls. She has worked within national, regional and local partnerships in this space.
Being part of the Swan family is something Trish is incredibly proud of and to volunteer as a Trustee has been a life changing opportunity for which she is very thankful. As a Trustee Trish has witnessed first hand how a supportive and holistic environment can give women and girls the confidence and tools to take control of their future. "It’s incredibly empowering to be part of the SWAN family and to help to secure the Centres continued success for future generations of women"
Laura
I have been a veterinary surgeon and leader for almost 15 years, with the majority of her work supporting animal welfare charities. I spent 11 years living in Liverpool and saw the vital work mental health support groups provide in communities here. I am delighted and privileged to support the Swan Women's Centre with my background in veterinary and business.
Sarah
I have volunteered at various charities throughout my life, taking on roles such as serving meals, answering phones, creating social media profiles, writing for disability publications, fundraising, and public relations.
While volunteering with Healthwatch Sefton as the Bootle locality representative, I learned about The Swan Women's Centre and their impactful work. When asked to become a trustee at The Swan Women's Centre, I eagerly accepted because I believe in the importance of women's mental health and well-being. I am committed to my trustee role and aim to leverage my extensive volunteer experience to help Swan continue developing its services and supporting the community.
There is also Michelle, Emma, Abi and Christine, more about them in the future!
