About CCG
Our Team
The people who make CCG what it is — trustees, staff, and an extraordinary community of volunteers.
People at the Heart of Our Work
At CCG, our strength lies in our people. From our Board of Trustees who guide our strategic direction, to our dedicated staff who deliver services day in and day out, to the 70+ volunteers who give their time and energy — our team is the foundation upon which everything is built.
Many on our team bring lived experience of migration, poverty, or social isolation — allowing them to connect authentically with the people we serve. Their passion, cultural understanding, and tireless efforts enable us to provide person-centred, respectful, and high-impact support across all our programmes.
Board of Trustees
Our Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction, and financial stewardship of the charity. They are a committed and diverse group who give their time voluntarily to ensure CCG remains effective, transparent, and true to its mission.
Governance & Oversight
Our trustees bring a wealth of expertise across community development, public health, finance, education, and social care. This breadth of knowledge ensures that CCG remains strategically focused, accountable, and responsive to the complex needs of the communities we serve.
The Board meets regularly and maintains daily communication to review organisational progress, monitor compliance with legal and regulatory obligations, and guide the strategic direction of CCG. Their oversight ensures robust governance, ethical practice, and sound financial stewardship at every level of our work.
Trustees are appointed or reappointed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), held each November. The selection process prioritises individuals whose skills, experience, and values align with CCG's mission.

“A local woman joined CCG as a Community Payback volunteer after leaving work due to mental health challenges and financial hardship. Despite having no prior experience, she quickly grew in confidence and stability through her role. Volunteering gave her purpose, reduced isolation, and sparked an interest in cooking and learning new skills. Her story reflects how volunteering at CCG can transform lives — offering support, inclusion, and hope for a better future.”
