Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust

We have now reached the stage in our application to become a Foundation Trust, where we can hold the inaugural elections for our Council of Governors - and we need you to get involved!  The role of Governor is a vital one in helping guide the Trust in the coming years and in helping local people have their say about mental and physical health and wellbeing services in Manchester.  The Council of Governors will be the voice of our membership so it is important that we get you involved and make your views heard. To learn more about the role of a Governor go to the Becoming a Governor section of our webpages.

If you are a member you can get involved by:

• Standing as a Governor in one of our public or staff constituencies;
• Voting for a candidate who you feel would best represent your views.

The Trust has now given notice that it will hold elections to the Council of Governors of Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust.  Please click here to view the Notice of Election.  Nomination forms are available from the Trust FT Office, from ERS or can be downloaded here.  Guidance notes are also available here.

We have arranged a number of meetings across Manchester to give all of our potential Governors the chance to meet the Chair of the Trust, Wyn Dignan and Foundation Trust Project Director, Jessica Williams. At these events you will be able to hear more details of what the role of Governor involves, learn more about the election process and how to fill in your nomination form.
