Pete Brayne
Following an early career in computing, Pete joined the ministry team of a local community church, eventually to become the Church leader – a post he held for 10 years. In 2001 he was appointed CEO of Guildford YMCA which merged with Sussex Central YMCA to become YMCA DownsLink Group in 2014. After a year supporting the integration process of the two YMCAs he has now set up his own company, Wise Governance Ltd, which aims to support charities (particularly YMCAs) devise and establish good governance processes – something which he believes will either ‘make or break’ a YMCA. He has been commissioned by YMCA England to conduct a consultation exercise with the Federation on what the Christian Ethos means to YMCAs and to propose ways in which this can benefit our aims and objectives.
