How we’re governed
Accountable, transparent and responsible
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust acts as the charity’s corporate Trustee, providing strong and reliable oversight through its Charitable Funds Committee.
The committee brings together senior Trust leaders, including:
The Chief Finance Officer
Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer
Non-executive directors
The Trust Secretary
Meeting three times a year, the committee reviews our activity, governance and impact to ensure we use every donation wisely and effectively.
Supporting this work is an operational sub-committee, which manages the charity’s day-to-day activity and reports directly into the Charitable Fund Committee – helping to maintain high standards and clear accountability at every level.
