GTUK Committees

 

Game Therapy UK has several important, and diverse, committees to help support the trustees in providing governance to the charity. All the committee members are unpaid and have declared no conflicts of interest with the charity.

 

The GTUK committee members bring professional experience, and/ or lived experience to each of our areas of specialist interest.

 

​The committees are required to meet a minimum of quarterly and report to the trustees (January/ April/ July/ Oct), however most committees choose to meet more frequently.​​

​

Each committee (of 7-9 volunteers, ), have their own:

• chairperson,

• vice-chair,

• secretary,

• finance rep

• media rep

• equipment rep

• EDI rep

• fundraising rep

• training or academic rep 

 

​

​OPERATIONAL COMMITTEES

​

There are currently 5 Operational Committees (of 7-9 volunteers), each with their own chairperson, secretary, shadow treasurer, volunteer rep and general committee members. They meet at least quarterly and provide minuted meetings to the trustees. They also have a representative attend the Trustees Quarterly meetings as an observer. 

​

The current committees are:

​
