Because we are a charity, instead of a board of directors we have a group of trustees who oversee the running of the organisation and who steer much of our work.

Most of them have a strong background in energy generation, supply or policy. And most have also been involved in sustainable, ethical or environmental initiatives. All of them, though, have local links so are genuinely interested in how our work affects those people around them – many of whom are friends, relatives or neighbours.
