Board and General Manager

The board of Directors are the Trustees of the charity and ultimately responsible for its good governance.  They are all volunteers with a range of backgrounds and skills and delegate day to day authority to the General Manager. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the trust, including developing an annual business plan, ensuring the overall viability of the organisation and working with our strategic partners at the highest levels. These include the leaders and chief executives of the local authorities, regional agencies and national government.

Finance Manager

Groundwork's finances are extremely complex and highly regulated by the Charity Commission, Companies House, HM Revenue and Customs and a wide variety of funders. The latter have a range of reporting requirements, many of which are not financial. We are a charitable company and have to be financially sound and ensuring this requires professional financial expertise.

Office Team

Groundwork Kent & Medway's office team are often the first point of contact, liasing closely with the public, partners, clients and the rest of the team. The office team provide and maintain the smooth running of the office on a day-to-day basis.
