2. Ark Services Limited is a private company limited by guarantee and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ark.

We are committed to representing the diversity of our service users on our Board and welcome applications from women from under-represented groups including those from ethnic minority backgrounds and LGBTI people.

The board meets face to face in Livingston every second month. Board members are also invited to join one of our sub committees to accelerate progress on important topics such as fundraising or strategy, driving forward key actions between board meetings.
