The first meeting of the board of Trustees for YouthBank UK met on 12 and 13 June 2004. YouthBank UK is the only UK-wide grant
making initiative run by young people for young people.
Three trustees were voted in at the recent residential in Scotland – Jane
McAndrew, Neil Brimer and Sean
Donnelly. A further four were appointed from the Advisory Board, and three trustees come from outside the organisation – Adam
Short, Helen Davies and Lynne Evans.

Jane McAndrew said: “YouthBank UK has
reached a major milestone, the start of the process that will see it becoming completely independent and a charity in its own right. Having seen YouthBank develop over the last three years I am very proud to have been
elected a trustee and to have the opportunity to shape YouthBank’s future.”
Mary Mills, Development Director, YouthBank UK, said: “The people who know
best what young people need are, of course, young people themselves. YouthBank puts money directly into the hands of young people, enabling them to contribute to the regeneration of their own communities and to ensure that their priorities are being met.”
