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.”
