[2] The Greyhound Trust is governed by a board of directors (trustees), chaired by Professor Steven Dean and led by the charity's chief executive, Lisa Morris.
The trust operates a network of over 50 branches across the UK, with homing led locally by over 1,000 volunteers.
The Animal Welfare Trust, led by Sydney Hicks, which until then had run the largest national programme in the UK for retired racing greyhounds, played an instrumental role.
The first chairman of trustees was Major General James Majury, who was the Senior Steward of the NGRC at the time.
It established a national office in Surrey (Worcester Park) and increased its branch network, particularly in areas popular for greyhound racing, such as the Midlands and South East.
