Our Governors

Our Council of Governors 

Our Council of Governors represents the voices of our employee owners who are members of Provide Community. The Council plays an important role in ensuring colleague perspectives help shape our organisation, culture and future direction.

The Council of Governors is made up of 30 colleagues from across the Provide Community Group who represent the views of our members and ensure colleague voices are reflected at Board level.

Led by Chair Hana Gunfield and supported by Co-Vice Chairs Laura Bennett and Amy Ostridge, the Council of Governors works collaboratively with all members and our organisational leaders to champion engagement, inclusion and employee ownership.

Our Chair of Governors, alongside two rotating Governors, attend every Board meeting. This helps ensure the perspectives and experiences of our members inform decision-making, policy development and the future direction of the organisation.

The Council of Governors also plays an important role in helping shape our vision, mission and values, delivering our corporate strategy and supporting a culture where colleague voice and employee ownership remain central to how we work and grow.

We encourage our members to connect with our Governors to share their thoughts, insights and ideas. Through the Council of Governors, colleague voices help influence the future of Provide Community and the services we deliver to our communities.

We are committed to creating an environment where every voice is valued, every suggestion is considered and every member has the opportunity to be heard.
