Our Team

Management of the House rests with the Tenants’ Trust Board, elected by Tenants, which meets monthly to ensure that the House is functioning in 
a manner, which meets the objectives, set out in our Trust Deed.  The House Manager is responsible for administration and the day-to-day 
management of the House.  We also rely on a large team of volunteers to help staff reception and carry out general duties under the supervision and guidance of the House Manager.
