LNHA’s Board of Management normally consists of around 14 people drawn from all sections of the community. Members are volunteers, receiving no payment for the time and effort they put into helping to manage the Association.

Recruitment to the Board attempts to achieve a balance of people representative of the Leicester community in terms of race, gender, beliefs, economic status, ages, etc.

The present membership is shown below. If you would like to volunteer for membership please contact the Secretary, LNHA, 33 Millstone Lane, Leicester LE1 5JN.
