Who we are
To ensure its aims and objectives are achieved The Digbeth Trust involves a number of people in a variety of ways.
Membership
The Trust is a membership organisation. Membership is free and is open to any individual or organisation who supports the work of the Trust. Many members are organisations which have previously approached the Trust for support or funding. The Trust currently has 130 members - the majority of which are voluntary and community based organisations.

A committee of volunteer trustees – the Board - is responsible for the governance of the Trust. They are also its directors.

Volunteers
Over the years the Trust has been fortunate to find volunteers who provide administrative and other help within the office. Some volunteers have stayed for several years and some have gone on to paid employment following their time at the Trust. If you are interested in volunteering for the Trust, please contact the Trust's Chief Executive for more information.
Consultants
The Trust has built up a wide ranging list of research and development consultants, trainers and architects with experience of working with the voluntary and community sector. All consultants on the register are vetted.
Partner organisations
The Trust could not effectively support the voluntary sector without its partners in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
