New Board Members
Our Board has eleven members at the moment, so we are not actively seeking new independent Board Members.
However, if you are interested in chairing our Board, or if you are a current Canopy tenant or volunteer and would like to get more involved, please contact our Chief Executive, David Nugent.
We are aiming to make our Board more representative of the people and communities with whom we work, so we particularly welcome applications from people whose background (ethnicity, race or lived experience) might resonate with our tenants and volunteers, most of whom live in inner city Leeds.
You can find out more about our Board here, then if you’re interested, please get in touch.
