Board of Trustees

​

Encore Enterprises was registered as a CIC in July 2012 and converted to a charity in August 2023. During to our conversion we have kept our Board to 3 Trustees, with a view to developing it in number during 2024. The Board of Trustees meets regularly to discuss the business of the organisation.
