The Board of Trustees

As a registered charity on the Isle of Man, we are governed by our trustees, who are also the company directors. The current board is made up of individuals who bring a wide range of skills and expertise to the charity. Let’s meet them.

Linda Muirhead

I’m honoured to have supported The Children’s Centre as a trustee for the past 10 years, cheering on the incredible team behind this wonderful charity. By day, my 30-year career in financial services (with two decades holding Board positions) has focused on leading and delivering operational change including a strong focus on governance, risk management, and compliance.

When I'm not wearing my NED or trustee hat, you’ll find me with my husband and daughters, diving into a craft project or a good book, umpiring netball on the court, or singing with Manx Voices.

 

Michael Crosbie

Michael was appointed trustee in 2021, five years after moving to the Isle of Man with his young family to start-up a successful fin-tech business. He also has a proven record in building new business in a multitude of industries such as travel, hospitality, retail, healthcare, marketing and blockchain.

Michael’s strength lies in the sound operational development of businesses; their systems, people, leadership and work practices. Michael is proudly pragmatic, thrives on challenge, is a keen golfer, wine enthusiast and a devoted father of two. This is Michael's first trustee appointment and he is proud to be part of an inspiring organisation achieving so much for children, young people and families.

 

Tracy Broom

Tracy brings over 40 years of nursing and leadership experience - across primary, community and acute healthcare. Since moving to Port St Mary in 2020, she has held senior roles as a Director at Hospice Isle of Man and as a Strategic Lead within the Island’s Health & Care Transformation Team. Over the past 15 years, she has specialised in healthcare transformation and quality improvement, championing approaches that support patients, families and staff.

Now retired from the NHS, Tracy continues to serve the community as Vice Commodore of the Isle of Man Yacht Club and as a member of the Port St Mary RNLI crew. Her commitment to service, good governance and community wellbeing underpins her contribution as a Trustee.
