Seeing more, doing more, enjoying life more
Alexander is spending more time with others, doing more activities and going to more places - and it's having a real positive impact on his life!
mirus employs a team of dedicated, professional staff to run and support all our services on a day to day basis but ultimately the legal and financial responsibility lies with the Board of Trustees. The trustees are volunteers, they are also the Directors under company law.
