The current Board of Trustees is comprised of seven members with a variety of backgrounds relevant to the work of the Charity which meets every three months (three online and one in-person meeting each year). In addition, there are various advisory groups who support specific projects within the charity’s remit and provide feedback at board meetings.

Flexible training options increase the ability to engage with many sectors, offering support and context-specific training for those who have already trained to teach mindfulness.
- Providing the opportunity to experience and learn mindfulness
Through free sessions, podcasts, courses and other resources, the OMF will support beginners as well as those with experience to learn and develop their understanding of mindfulness and how mindful behaviours can be supportive and incorporated into daily life. This will also be offered both directly and through international partnerships, working to make courses accessible to all, being sensitive to cultural, geographical and financial differences.

The OMF will collaborate with world leading experts to support new knowledge and research, asking important questions about how programmes are delivered, measuring effectiveness and how best to implement programmes in different environments.
