Events

The views of Trust members are represented by our Council of Governors.  We have 30 Governors which are made up of: 16 Public Governors; 9 for the East Riding of Yorkshire, 6 for Hull, one for the Yorkshire and Humber region, 9 Nominated Governors and 5 Staff Governors. More than half of the Council of Governors are elected by local people. 

Nominated Governors include representatives of local partnership organisations. They give up their time voluntarily and do not ’run the Trust’. The Trust is run by the Board but the Governors can influence their decisions and represent the views of our members.

The Council of Governors is chaired by our Trust Chairman, Sharon Mays and meets 4 times a year. The meetings are open to the public

All meetings will be held in the Conference Room at:

Trust Headquarters
Willerby Hill
Beverley Road
Willerby
East Riding of Yorkshire
HU10 6ED 

The Independent Strategic Advisory Body (ISAB) will meet in person four times a year and the meetings will be open to the public. The role of these meetings will be to set the strategic workplan for Healthwatch East Riding and to check the delivery against that workplan at key stages.

Our ISAB meetings are every quarter with the next meeting taking place
at

Emmaus Room, Beverley Minster, Beverley, HU17 0DP

All meetings are open to members of the public to attend as observers.
Agendas and minutes are published on our website.

The Trust Board, along with the Council of Governors, sets the strategic goals and objectives for the organisation. They monitor how the Trust is performing against these objectives and make sure appropriate action is taken where necessary.

Our Board of Directors is made up of a Chief Executive and five Executive Directors who deliver the strategy and a Chairman and six Non-Executive Directors. The Chairman and Non-Executive Directors are not employed by the Trust and work part-time providing advice to the Board and challenge where appropriate.

Board papers can be found here
