Structure and Governance
Mission Care is a registered charity (no. 284967). We are governed by a board of directors, serving as trustees, who guide the strategic direction and good stewardship of the
care homes.
Our structure helps to protect the commercial interests of Mission Care, whilst allowing the charity to respond efficiently to the ever-changing environment in which we operate.
Trustee Directors
Our trustees bring extensive and specific experience and expertise that helps to guide the strategic direction and good stewardship of Mission Care and its resources.
