The role

have excellent and committed existing trustees but with a more diverse board of
people with a wider range of backgrounds and skills to support, help and guide
the charity and the Senior Management Team, we believe we will be in a stronger

of Trustees are:-
1.

communities to support our work in tackling health inequalities
3.
Experience of living with psoriasis as a young person or
experience of family life with a child or young person with psoriasis
