Following our Annual General Meeting we are proud to announce the election of six new trustees to METRO’s Board, marking a significant moment in our journey of transformation, resilience, and renewed ambition.
This new cohort joins at a pivotal time for METRO, bringing with them a wealth of expertise across public health, strategy, finance, governance, and diversity, equity and inclusion. Just as importantly, they also bring powerful lived experience, further broadening the diversity of perspective and depth of insight across our Board, and both enacting and reinforcing our commitment to inclusive leadership.
Their arrival takes our Board to 11 members, as they join an existing five outstanding trustees – who were also re-elected by the membership at our AGM - forming a dynamic, high-calibre trustee board ready to support and challenge the executive team as we shape the charity’s future. Together, this renewed governance team positions METRO for greater impact, deeper collaboration, and long-term sustainability as we continue our mission to champion health, equity, and inclusion for all.
We would like to thank John Ley for his committed service as Treasurer, as he continues as a trustee but now hands over the role of Treasurer to Lee Kilby. We would also like to thank Dawn Brown for her outstanding leadership as Chair, as she continues as a trustee but will hand over the role of Chair to Hannah Ward on 28th June 2025.
