Kris has been an invaluable Non-Executive Director (NED) with us for several years and has demonstrated exceptional dedication since first engaging with our services in 2017. We’re thrilled to see Kris step into this leadership role to guide BounceOT through the next chapter of its growth.

The Role of a Non-Executive Director and Responsibilities of the Board
Kris’s transition into the Interim Chair role highlights the vital importance of the Board in shaping the future of BounceOT Stirling. As a Non-Executive Director, Kris has already contributed significantly to the governance and oversight of our work, ensuring that we remain focused on our mission to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities. The Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation, approving key policies, and ensuring the delivery of our core purpose.
We are still actively seeking other passionate individuals to join our Board. Non-Executive Directors play an essential role in offering advice, guidance, and challenge to the senior leadership team. Directors are responsible for overseeing our operations, financial health, risk management, and governance, ensuring that we stay accountable to our vision and mission.
