SAFE Was established on 23 Nov 2020<br>The organisation is structured around two main groups: the Members and<br>the Board. Membership is open to any individual aged 16 or over who has<br>an interest in supporting military families in Edinburgh experiencing<br>financial hardship.<br>Trustees are appointed through a fit-for-purpose selection process<br>designed to provide assurance that those appointed are competent and of<br>good standing.<br>Our Board of Directors (Charity Trustees) is elected by the membership.<br>Each trustee serves a three-year term, with one-third of the Board<br>stepping down each year. This rotation allows us to hold Board elections<br>annually and supports continuity alongside regular refreshment of skills<br>and experience.<br>We are actively recruiting new trustees to ensure the Board better reflects<br>the broad diversity of the sector.<br>We currently have three dedicated Board members who are actively<br>involved in many aspects of the organisation.
