Richard Wray, the Service Director, is responsible for all aspects of the Charity on a day-to-day basis. He reports to the Board of Trustees (elected from Members) and also makes recommendations on policies and prepares reports for them.  Part of his role also includes the negotiation of funding arrangements with both City and County Councils and other funding bodies.
