Patrons and Trustees

The Back-Up Trust is governed by a voluntary board of twelve trustees. In keeping with the charity’s ethos of integration 50% are spinally injured. The trustees are responsible for the Charity’s strategy and policies and, ultimately for everything the charity does. In addition to the Trustees, the charity is honoured to receive the support of several well-respected patrons.

“The strength of the Back-Up Trust is in its simplicity. For participants to be able to experience the thrill and excitement of sporting and outdoor activities reminds everyone involved that any obstacle in life CAN be overcome."
