OCD-UK Management Committee
OCD-UK is a membership-based charity, managed by a team of dedicated trustees which make up our executive membership committee. The committee comprises of a diverse range of carefully selected individuals that bring with them a wide variety of skill sets and personal strengths. This ensures that the charity is able to continue with its objectives and further direct the charity forward.
The executive membership committee comprises up to 10 trustees. These are endorsed and elected by our members at our Annual General Meeting, for a period of three years. They are all members of the charity, and receive no remuneration, other than essential working costs approved by the charity.

"To me OCD-UK is more than a charity, it is a wonderful group of people all coming together to form a community, a place of constant encouragement, all supporting each other during and after our road to recovery. I have benefited so much from all the charity offers and feel it has played a major part in my recovery."
Kylie Cloke

"Having received so much support from OCD-UK prior to, and during my treatment for OCD, I felt passionate at helping the charity in any way I could. I have volunteered for OCD-UK in numerous roles in recent years. In 2008, I was asked to join the Management Team, an opportunity I jumped at."
Claire Gellard
Location: London
"I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 14 years old. I am now 23 and I am still on my journey to an OCD -free life. The most valuable treatment for me is having people to talk to, and OCD-UK provides that community spirit and understanding and offers the professional advice and resources to help guide sufferers on their journey to recovery. OCD is still so misunderstood, but together we can make a difference."
Kirstie Gillon
Location: Fife, Scotland
"I am 27 years old, live in Fife, Scotland and have suffered with OCD since I was a young child. It was not until my late teens, when it became very troublesome and severely impacted upon my life, that I finally sought treatment via my G.P. The OCD (which is mainly centred on checking, mild contamination fears and intrusive thoughts) is mostly under control now but, like anyone, I do still have my good and bad days with it."
Catherine Mills
Location: Liverpool
"Hello, I am Catherine and I became a Trustee with OCD-UK because I wanted to help support fellow OCD sufferers and their families. I know what a devastating impact OCD can have upon one's life and I wanted to use this as a positive force for others."
Vanessa Rogers
Location: Berkshire
" I am the only member of the management team that doesn't actually suffer from OCD herself, but I have direct contact and experience of the illness through my daughter who has suffered severely with OCD since she was 14 years old."
