Nominations open for Care Trust Governor elections

Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust is encouraging local people Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven to nominate themselves in their Governor elections.

The nominations are an opportunity for members of the public, who are also Trust members, to put themselves forward for a seat on the Care Trust’s Council of Governors, to represent their community’s views.

The Trust is seeking nominations for six seats this year from five constituencies across the district, with two in Bradford South, one each in Bradford West, Craven, Keighley and Shipley.

Governors play a key role in the Trust as the voice of their communities. The Council of Governors represents the views of local people for the Trust Board, and influence Board decisions.

To apply for the role of Governor, members of the public must first be members of Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust. Membership is free and people can complete a simple membership form online. All members will receive invitations to healthcare talks and events and are eligible to vote in the Trust’s Governor elections.

Members of the Trust who are interested in becoming a Governor should complete and submit a nomination form before Tuesday 1 July at www.cesvotes.com/BDCT2025.

For further information about being a Governor, people can contact the Trust’s membership office on 07385463946 or ft@bdct.nhs.uk. More information about the Council of Governors can be found on the Trust website at www.bdct.nhs.uk.
