We are governed by a Board of Directors which is a voluntary group comprising of individuals with a keen interest in the area of asylum and protection, as well as asylum seekers and refugees themselves.

Our Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013
Our plan sets out our vision, values, strategic aims and identifies how we intend to deliver them over the next three years. We have consulted widely with groups, organisations, individuals and our own staff and volunteers to produce this plan.
Thanks to all of those who took part in our consultation process which helped to strengthen and shape the plan that has now been agreed by our board of trustees.
