The Board of Trustees has moved from being rooted in family to being governed by trustees with a more diverse range of experience.

Our trustees

The current membership of the Board is a blend of long-standing trustees and newly appointed trustees to reflect a wide range of experience, perspectives and leadership, closer to the social change we want to achieve. Long-standing trustees, who continue to plan their departure over the course of the year, are supporting the transformation of Tudor so that their learning and experiences can inform future strategy.

The trustees of Tudor are:
