The Trustees of BRACE are responsible for the good governance and strategic direction of the charity.  

They ensure that everything done in the name of BRACE is within the guidelines it has set itself and those imposed by the Charity Commission.

With this in mind, the Trustees have equipped the Board with wide experience in financial and legal matters, as well as business acumen and knowledge of medical science.

The day to day management of the charity is the responsibility of the Chief Executive and other staff, and they are the first point of contact for all enquiries. Please see below to identify the member of staff best placed to deal with your enquiry.

The Scientific Advisory Committee is an independent committee of scientists which recommends to the Trustees which applications should be supported, subject to the availability of funds.

Our Patron and Ambassadors are committed to helping BRACE achieve its aims in terms of raising awareness of the work BRACE does and to help BRACE in whatever way they can.
