Our Trustees
Our Trustees
The Board of Trustees is Friends Of Saint Lucia’s governing body and has overall responsibility for the Charity.
For transparency purposes, none of our Trustees are paid employees of the Charity. All of our Trustees are volunteers and bring with them their own unique professional and life experiences. Their primary focus is to ensure that they work collectively to achieve vision of the organisation.
