Meet the Trustees

The National Emergency Services Museum is a registered charity, overseen by a Board of Trustees who are responsible for the charity’s governance, long-term direction and overall wellbeing.

Our Trustees come from a range of professional backgrounds and bring a wide mix of skills, experience and perspectives to the museum. Together, they work to ensure the museum remains financially stable, legally compliant and true to its charitable purpose, while supporting the staff and volunteers who deliver our day-to-day work.

What does a Trustee do?

Trustees act in the best interests of the charity and the public it serves. Their role includes: Setting the museum’s strategic direction and long-term vision | Ensuring the charity is well-run, accountable and compliant with charity law | Overseeing finances and safeguarding the museum’s future sustainability | Overseeing the care and preservation of the collection, ensuring it reflects and tells the national story of the 999 services | Supporting and challenging the senior leadership team | Acting as ambassadors for the museum and its work

Trustees do not manage the museum on a day-to-day basis; instead, they provide guidance, oversight and support, helping the museum grow while protecting its values and mission.

The National Emergency Services Museum is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Charity number 1161866).
