Our trustees are skilled volunteers who monitor Salford Foundation’s activities and set our strategic direction.
What our trustees do for us
Trustees are crucial to the work we do at Salford Foundation.
Our Trustees bring skills, experiences, and expertise from beyond our organisation and use them to ensure that help the people of Salford and Greater Manchester effectively tackle disadvantage and change their lives.
How our trustees help our work
The Board of Trustees gather frequently to evaluate Salford Foundation’s activities, to navigate the complex challenges we face, and to collectively set our future goals.
Outside of the Board, Trustees sit on one of two committees which take deeper dives into specific topics: the Finance, Audit, Risk, and Governance Committee and the People, Performance, and Resources Committee.

“As a trustee of Salford Foundation, I am proud to support an organisation that is deeply committed to empowering individuals and transforming lives across Greater Manchester. Whether it is helping young people build confidence and skills, or supporting adults to overcome barriers and achieve their potential, Salford Foundation plays a vital role in creating a fairer, more resilient community. Being part of this mission is both a privilege and a responsibility I embrace with passion and purpose.“

“Salford Foundation is special. It changes people’s lives for the better. Their mission to address injustice, inequality, and disadvantage resonates deeply with me, and that’s why I wanted to get involved. Being a trustee allows me to contribute to an organisation that’s making a real difference to the lives of many, and I’m proud and privileged to be part of such a dedicated and passionate team.”

“I volunteer for the Salford Foundation as its work is close to my heart. Helping young people and adults who need support to either re-enter the world of education or work is one of the best evidence based way to support improvements in health and well being – and the Foundation does this – along with many other things – with excellence and compassion. I feel privileged to be part of the team.”
