Meet our Team

BATA has three levels of governance. A Board, Executive team and Council, each responsible for holding the other to account and ensuring that BATA is working in the members interest and the interests of disabled and older people, that we are taking the right approach to solving problems and implementing plans, and are creating momentum to effectively make change.
