Introducing our facilitator…

Neil Casey is the Director of Wild Goose Consulting, and works with a wide range of charitable organisations and small community based Christian charities. He is a governance specialist and brings with him the wealth of over 20 years experience in the not for profit sector. Neil doesn’t just talk theory, but draws heavily on his experience of being a trustee himself. He is chair of two charities and also the chair of governors at his local junior school.

Directions to St George’s, Leeds

St George’s is right in the city centre, so parking is difficult. We suggest that, if possible, you come by public transport - the railway and bus stations are about 8 minutes walk away. Ask us if you need a map.
