Sutton Giving Steering Group

 

Sutton Giving is governed by a steering group – a group of people appointed from a range of backgrounds to bring different perspectives to our work.  Collectively they provide valuable links to businesses, local residents and community organisations.

The role of the steering group is to advise and steer the development, launch, implementation of Sutton Giving and to use their wealth of expertise to provide strategic advice to shape the initiative on an on-going basis.
