How is Asthma UK governed and managed?
Asthma UK is a membership-based charity. It is legally a company limited by guarantee. It is managed by the ‘Council of trustees’, who are the legal directors of the company. Trustees are members of Asthma UK and give their time voluntarily to ensure that directors and staff effectively deliver Asthma UK’s mission and vision. Day-to-day management is delegated by the Trustees to an executive of full time employees who operate within defined terms of reference and authority. The charity is organised into four directorates: Research and Policy; Nations, Regions and Services; Marketing; and Operations, each headed by an Executive Director who reports to the Chief Executive.
