About Us

Trustees & President

OCD Action’s Trustees have responsibility for the governance of the charity, setting our strategy and ensuring that we meet our objectives.

Our Trustees team comprises of people with OCD, carers, medical professionals and charity professionals.  The balance of our Trustees team is one of the things that makes OCD Action such a strong charity. Together, the team offers a wealth of personal experience and professional knowledge to ensure that we not only fully understand the challenge of OCD but that we are also equipped to meet it.

We currently have 10 trustees, seven of whom are service users (people with OCD or their carers and family) and three who are medical professionals. You can find out more about our trustees below.

OCD Action’s President is Piers Watson. Piers is a former chair of the Charity and has been involved with OCD Action since its inception.
