The Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees who meet regularly. Outside the work of the Charity, all the Trustees, and the Honorary Officers, are closely involved with services to hearing-impaired people and have first hand knowledge of the gaps the Charity seeks to fill. The Trustees and the Officers do not receive any reimbursement for personal expenses incurred, or any other form of payment from the Charity.
