Family Action is driven by a team of passionate, dedicated and innovative leaders, with a wealth of experience from across sectors. The day to day running of the charity is led by the Executive Group, who are governed by our Board of Trustees – a group of individuals that bring financial, social and legal expertise in order to support the development and success of Family Action.
Our Patron is HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and we are supported by our Vice Patrons, all leaders in their fields of work.
