Our board
As a national governing body and a registered charity, British Wheelchair Basketball is governed by a Board of Trustees.
Officers of the Association (Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer) and members of the board are all trustees. Trustees are ultimately responsible for all matters concerning governance, strategic direction, legal operation and financial probity.
Our Chief Executive is responsible to the charity’s trustees for the management of British Wheelchair Basketball’s day-to-day activity.
