Our People
Ideal for All is a user-led registered charity and a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee.
Both the charity and the company are governed by a voluntary board of trustees and directors who oversee our work and are accountable to the community we serve.
A senior management team is responsible for the day-to-day operational activities of the organisation.
Ideal for All values the contributions of our trustees, members and people who use our services; their input drives the charity forward. Involving disabled people in the decision-making process at all levels is embedded in the way Ideal For All delivers its services.
What is a user-led organisation?
A user-led organisation is “one where the people the organisation represents (or provides a service to) have a majority on the Management Committee or Board, and where there is clear accountability to members and/or service users” (Morris, 2006).
