Board of Trustees
Sporting Equals is governed by a board of trustees who collectively govern and take decisions to ensure the charity fulfils its purpose and remains sustainable. As Sporting Equals is both a charity and company, Sporting Equals’ trustees are also company Directors (Non-Executive Directors) and therefore beholden to both charity and company law.
Sporting Equals’ board of trustees currently includes the Chair, Senior Independent Director and nine other trustees. Sporting Equals’ trustees are volunteers who bring valued experience to Sporting Equals from a range of backgrounds. Sporting Equals’ is committed to gender diversity and our current board composition is 45% male and 55% female. Please see ‘Our Team‘ to find out more about our trustees.
Sporting Equals’ board of trustees has four sub-committees where trustees with specific skills and experience can focus on priority governance areas in more detail (Finance Committee, Audit Committee, HR & Remunerations Committee, Marketing & Communicaions Committe) and, in addition, Nominations Committee is dealt with by the full board.
