The Management Committee is a voluntary group of people with the key role of ensuring that Cumbria Law Centre fulfils all its legal obligations and operates efficiently and according to good practice guidelines.

The Committee also ensures that the Law Centre best meets the needs of our local communities, debating the priorities for future work, and governing long term decision making.

We have an elected Management Committee to reflect our local community.

Some of the things our Management Committee are involved in include:

• Raising issues of local concern, and continuing to debate on the work the Law Centre should do
• Promotion and awareness raising, to make sure that the Law Centre is well known in the area it serves
• Working with the Law Centre’s staff to ensure that quality standards are being met
• Devising the Law Centre’s business plan, and monitoring its implementation
• Making sure the Law Centre is fulfilling its responsibilities as an employer of paid staff
• Financial matters, for example, budget reviewing, fundraising and planned service developments
