footGovernance

Just Drop-In is a registered charity and limited company overseen by a board of Directors or Trustees. Just Drop-In was constituted in November 1999 and first opened its doors in 2001. The charity was the Millennium Project of Churches Together now known as Hope in North East Cheshire, a forum of local church leaders who saw a need to support local young people.

 

Initially opening on Chestergate, we moved to Duke Street in 2011, and have been in our current premises on Brook Street since 2022.

 

The Service has gradually grown and we now help over 1,000 individual children and young people a year.

Our Trustees

As a registered Charity our work is overseen by the standards of the Charity Commission. We are fully compliant with all our reporting responsibilities.

 

Our work is overseen by a board of Trustees also known as Directors. Trustees give their time freely, but have a range of legal responsibilities. They ensure that they act in the Charity’s best interest, that they comply with the Charity’s governing document and the law and that they manage the Charity resources

Steve Waltho, Chair of Trustees:

 

Steve brings a wealth of leadership, governance and mentoring experience to his role as Chair of Trustees. He has been a Trustee at Just Drop-In since 2022 with a focus on Strategy and Fundraising. Professionally, he is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, Fellow of RICS and Partner in a global construction consultancy employing 25,000 people.

 

Away from work, Steve is a devoted husband and father who has lived in Cheshire for over 25 years and has been actively involved in supporting his local church and community, including leading youth work for many years.

 

Through his Trustee role at Just Drop-In, professional career and personal family experiences, he has developed a deep understanding of the challenges young people can face. Passionate about helping people realise their potential, Steve is committed to ensuring the charity provides the care, support and opportunities that enable young people to thrive.

 

 

I am deeply honoured to be appointed Chair of Trustees for Just Drop-In. Every day, the charity provides vital support to children and young people who are finding life hard, helping them build resilience, self-worth and hope. I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff, volunteers and fellow trustees - together, we will build on the charity's strong foundations to ensure even more children and young people have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
