Trustees

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 beginning 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.
