Greensleeves Care Trustees
Helping with the governance of Greensleeves Care is an exceptional Board of Trustees. Working hand in hand with the Executive Team, the Trustees ensure we deliver on of all our charitable objectives. The Trustees bring a wealth of experience, sense of wisdom, personal values, ethos and beliefs that every Greensleeves Care resident and team member benefits from.
