“When you acquire a disability, it gives you a different perspective. You start to see the system differently, where it works, and where it falls short.”
For Sinéad Lucey Brennan, trustee with the Disability Federation of Ireland, that perspective shapes how she approaches governance and strategy, ensuring that decisions genuinely meet people where they are, and that the voices of disabled people are heard and respected.
She joined a panel to discuss the crucial role trustees play in good governance, accountability, and impact across the sector.

The conversation was part of a special broadcast for Charity Trustees Week, aired across the Community Radio Network.
Organised by the Charities Regulator, with support from Pobal, Dóchas, The Wheel, Carmichael Ireland, Boardmatch, Volunteer Ireland, and Charities Institute Ireland, Charity Trustees Week celebrates the 70,000+ people in Ireland who give their time and expertise to strengthen our charities and communities.
