Every person should be celebrated and we believe that real strength can come from shared abilities.

The future is bright and the next few years promise to be exciting ones for KPP and our community.

• Previous Board experience as a Director or an employee advising the Board in either the profit or not-for –profit sectors would be an asset but is not required
