Thrale has six Trustee Directors who meet bi-monthly to conduct the business of the Charity. They set and oversee its strategic directions and ethos and create and implement its Business Plan; set and monitor spending via budgets and ensure it works within agreed policies, procedures, regulatory requirements and legal and best practice guidelines.

We will do this by:

- - Awarding our Relief in Need (RIN) resources to the wider community.
- - Creating opportunities to enable people to live independently and with dignity
- - Working to alleviate isolation and support those who are vulnerable
- - Building on the Thrale tradition of supporting women
- - Becoming an active voice in shaping positive attitudes towards older people.
We value:
The right of everyone to live with dignity and as far as possible independently
The right of everyone to have a decent home
The importance of local community in enriching peoples’ lives.
Communities with respect for and integration of older people
