Our Board
Our yearly work plan is agreed by a board of volunteers from the community, who act as the ‘ears and eyes’ of the Reading public. They consider which health or social care issues are affecting a substantial amount of people in Reading, which issues are having the most serious consequences for the public, or what opportunities need to be made for a previously unheard section of the community to have they say.
