Our Annual General Meeting and Celebration Event 2025
Every year, we hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and celebration event, where we bring together the Trust’s members, our staff, our governors and members of the Board of Directors. It is a fantastic day where members have the opportunity to find out about some of the great work we have been doing over the last 12 months.
On Tuesday 29 July 2025, we hosted our AGM and Celebration Event at The Studio, Leeds.
The celebration was a powerful reflection of the passion, progress, and partnership that define LYPFT. From thought-provoking presentations to heartfelt conversations, the day showcased the breadth of work happening across the Trust, and the commitment to continuous improvement, co-production, and inclusion.
The AGM was led by our Chair and included presentations from:
- Our Lead Governor, Ian Andrews reflected on the work of the Council of Governors in 2024/25.
- Our Chief Financial Officer, Dawn Hanwell presented the Trust’s annual accounts.
- Our Chief Executive, Dr Sara Munro, shared highlights from the past year and our ambitions for 2025/26.
The afternoon celebration event, co-hosted by Oliver Tipper, Head of Communications, shone a spotlight on some of the most innovative and impactful work across the Trust. Presentations were delivered on a variety of topics, including accessibility, artificial intelligence, nutrition and mealtime experience.
