The Real World Trust (RWT) is a registered charity that operates “not for profit” in that any surpluses are re-used within the organisation and not to shareholders.
The Board of the Real World Trust (RWT) meets every three months to oversee the governance, receive reports and make recommendations regarding the strategic direction of the organisation. Board members give of their time and skill voluntarily.
RWT is always seeking to balance the skills mix of the Board and applications are welcome from anyone who thinks they may have a particular skill to offer – particularly in the legal or financial area. (Please contact the Chair or Chief Executive).
