Trustees are responsible for the overall governance of PAS UK. They help guide the charity’s direction, support good decision-making, and make sure the organisation remains accountable to its purpose and the people it exists to help.
At PAS UK, that matters. We support people rebuilding life after injury, illness and major change. Strong governance helps us do that with integrity, care and practical focus.
PAS UK is governed by a board of trustees who provide strategic direction, oversight and accountability for the charity.
They help make sure we stay focused on our purpose, use our resources responsibly, and continue delivering support that is practical, credible and shaped by real-world understanding.
Our board brings together lived experience of disability and recovery, Armed Forces insight, clinical knowledge and senior commercial leadership. That mix helps PAS UK stay grounded in the needs of the people and families we support.
Chair
Adam works in the data and technology sector and also leads a workplace mental health employee resource group. Through his earlier service in the Royal Air Force, he has seen the life-changing impact of spinal cord injury on friends and former colleagues. That personal connection underpins his commitment to PAS UK and the charity’s mission.
Trustee
Jim served in the Army with 1st Battalion Queen’s Lancashire Regiment before going on to build a career with Royal Mail. After sustaining life-changing injuries in a motorbike road traffic collision in 2018, he rebuilt his independence and returned to work. Having experienced the value of peer support first-hand, he brings lived understanding and a strong sense of purpose to the board.

His clinical background, including experience relating to spinal cord injury rehabilitation, brings an important professional perspective to PAS UK’s board.
Trustee
Rob sustained a spinal cord injury in 1987 following a truck accident and completed rehabilitation at the Midland Centre for Spinal Injuries in Oswestry. He has gone on to lead an independent life after injury and understands the value of peer advice from personal experience.

Trustee
James brings nearly three decades of commercial, consultancy and leadership experience. His background includes senior roles at Experian and Barclays, where he led major client portfolios and strategic transformation work.
