Pet Plan Charitable Trust  is made up of a Board of Trustees and two Committees, the Welfare Committee and the Scientific Advisory Committee.

The Board consists of eight trustees.  Apart from two lifetime members (the founders, Patsy Bloom and David Simpson), trustees are elected on a two year rotation basis.  Existing trustees have the option to put themselves forward for re-election if they so wish.   Trustees meet twice a year.

The members of the Board of Trustees are:

David Simpson (Chair)
Clarissa Baldwin, OBE
Patsy Bloom
John Bower BVSc MRCVS
Edward Chandler BVetMed FRCVS
George Stratford FCA

Members of the Welfare and Scientific Advisory Committees are appointed by the Board of Trustees.  

The Welfare Committee meets once a year to consider on-going welfare grant applications and to monitor the progress of grants previously awarded.   The Committee then forwards its recommendations to the Board of Trustees.
