Home Group Board
We are changing Home’s Board structure. In future there will be one main Board supported by a National Customer Panel and a National Client Panel.
At the moment we have a number of different boards with responsibility for different parts of our business. The boards have done a great job helping us become the organisation we are, but in order to achieve our vision for the future we now need to establish a more streamlined way of making decisions.
We are proposing to introduce a simplified board and committee structure, which would come into effect on 1 April 2010. The boards and committees of our subsidiary companies are not be affected by the proposals. This is for a number of reasons. Firstly, a separate housing system operates in Scotland, and therefore Home Scotland, will continue to operate under its present board and committee structure. Secondly, Live Smart@ Home and Home Group Developments Limited are both non-charitable companies which undertake commercial activity that Home, as a charity, cannot take forward.
We want to recruit one Home Customer and one Stonham Client to become members of the Home Group Board.

The selection process will take place between 19 and 23 April 2010.

Depending on what you need, the grant allows eligible applicants to buy one of the following packages:

2. A computer with service and support only
3. One year's internet access only
