Board of Trustees
SHAP’s Trustees exercise independent control over, and have legal responsibility for, the management and administration of the organisation. They ensure that we carry out the purposes for which the organisation was set up, and that we act responsibly, reasonably and honestly.
Our Trustees set the tone and character of SHAP and help safeguard the wellbeing of our staff, service users and clients.
The current members of our Board of Trustees are:
- Peter Barron
- Siobhan Cotter-Burgess
- Mary Milton
Peter Barron
SHAP for Peter is a way to both correct some of those injustices and argue for a fairer way forward at a policy level.
Mary Milton
Mary started her career as a social worker in Liverpool and was also a member of Rape Crisis
Siobhan Cotter-Burgess
Siobhan’s background includes studies that focussed on Politics and Dance (an unusual combination, she admits).
