Relate The Relationship People is all about, well, people ...and we have many of them in our fantastic organisation. We fall into the following groups:
The Board of Trustees:
A fabulous group of volunteers who sit on our Board as trustees and directors. These individuals bring a wide variety of skills and experience to the governance role. The Board oversees what we do and makes sure we deliver on plans. Chair & Vice: Alan Cooper, Ryan Jervis
Trustees: Sue Fitzmaurice, Mary Anne Richey, Peter Bennett, Sian Beckett, Andrew Mitchell, Peter Sleigh, Keith Riley, Darren Johnson Patrons: Margaret Thrower
Our Clients:
At the heart of our organisaton and our focus, is our clients – those people who come to us for help with issues and those who are learners on our courses. We work with around 12,000 people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Herefordshire and North Staffordshire people during the year. Our aim is to work with anyone who wants and needs our services within our geographical area. We work with individuals; people whose relationships are in crisis; with families suffering conflict, with businesses struggling with conflict in the workplace; we support employees through Employee Assistance Programmes; children and young people (in and outside the school setting); with HR departments designing bespoke programmes of development for staff; for those struggling to come to terms with bereavement; for couples with sexual problems; in fact any situation at all which you can think of where relationships are difficult or where people wish to preserve good relationships. That sounds pretty much like every man, woman and child of us!
Our Supporters:
The vast majority of our clients tell us that our services have helped them (97% of clients said that they thought Relate Services offered value for money) and that they wish to give something back. These are the many and various ways you can “give something back”:- • Join our Lottery – monthly prize draws of £100! • Donate to one of our shops • Donating to our bursary (to support those who otherwise might not be able to access services) • Consider volunteering – opportunities are available across departments and locations • Consider joining our County Fundraising Groups (in Shropshire, T & W, Herefordshire and N Staffs) • Please give us your contact details to be kept up to date with fundraising events and newsletter • If you are interested in finding out more about being a trustee, please ask
