Our Board of Trustees volunteer their time to help and guide Branch Out Together in everything we do.

  • Elizabeth Macleod

    Acting Chair of the Board. Retired Consultant for large Corporate Finance Company (I spent their money on Community projects in the UK). Retired from paid work but busier than ever, volunteering for Citizens Advice and pursuing hobbies -- diy, gardening, sewing, upholstery, stain glass, knitting. I love being outdoors and walking to keep fit.
