Who to contact and how

HELOA activities are managed by the: 

HELOA activities are carried out at UK and local level.

At UK level, HELOA is managed by a UK Committee of members who contribute to the work of the Association on a voluntary basis. The UK Committee consists of elected and appointed officers from the Executive Committee, the HELOA Groups and appointed officers and meets four times per year.

Development of the work of the Association is led by a UK Executive Group, consisting of the Chair, three Vice-Chairs, Treasurer and Secretary, which meets five times per year. The development and delivery of training for HELOA members is managed by a Training Organiser employed by the Association.

The work of the Association is supported by two administrative officers employed by HELOA and based in the HELOA Office in Leeds.

Locally, HELOA operates through a network of nine HELOA groups covering the whole of the UK. It is these groups who communicate, plan, manage and deliver activities and services at a local level. Each HELOA group has a Chair (supported by other group officer posts as relevant) and meets at least three times a year.

All HELOA members are entitled to attend HELOA group meetings in their areas. Meetings often have a training theme to support members. Members and institutions also collaborate with regard to delivery of shared activity. Contact details for HELOA Group Chairs can be found here.
