Our Board of Trustees brings together a wealth of experience - from heritage and construction, to hospitality, finance, fundraising, and community development. Some have been with us since the very begining of the restoration journey, helping to shape and support the vision of The Goods Shed. They work closely with staff to guide the charity's mission and ensure its long-term sustainability.

Mae ein Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr yn dod ag amrywiaeth eang o brofiad at ei gilydd – o dreftadaeth a chontractio, i letygarwch, cyllid, codi arian a datblygu cymunedol. Mae rhai ohonynt wedi bod gyda ni ers dechrau’r daith adfer, gan helpu i lunio a chefnogi gweledigaeth y Sied Nwyddau. Maent yn gweithio’n agos gyda’r staff i lywio cenhadaeth yr elusen a sicrhau ei chynaliadwyedd hirdymor.
