General Council

Our small, professional staff team are overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors who we call our General Council. Our General Council is elected annually by HCD Members. Membership to HCD is open to all who share our values (based on the principles of co-operation) and support our aims.

Our General Council is currently made up of people who live and work locally, many works closely with HCD as clients, tenants or partners and all are working to support our unique approach to community-led economic and cultural regeneration.
