Who we are

SSR is run by a Board of Trustees and a small, dedicated staff team led by the Chief Executive

Meet the Trustees and Staff

Our Board of Trustees is made up of experts in the field of scoliosis, business experts and medical professionals, all of whom bring different skills to the charity. Our Chief Executive has worked in charities for nearly thirty years and both other members of staff have had fusion surgery.
