We went virtual to help keep our staff and the public safe by following the national guidelines on social distancing. 

Our AGM was opened by our Chair, Martin Earwicker, followed by an update from our Lead Governor, Paul Myerscough.

Julian Emms, our Chief Executive, and Alex Gild, our Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer then gave updates on how we’ve performed over the year, and how we’ve managed the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was also an opportunity to ask questions through our live Q&A chat function. Julian Emms, Chief Executive, and Jane Nicholson, Interim Director of People, answered some of your questions.
