Meet the Larne Community Care Centre Team

LCCC Board of Directors

Our board is made up of a team of volunteers

Lisa Robinson

Chair

Lisa has over 20 years’ experience in the education sector, with a strong focus on regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and organisational risk management. With a degree in Business and a postgraduate qualification in Building Business Resilience, Lisa approaches governance not as a tick-box exercise, but as a practical framework that protects, enables, and strengthens organisations.

In her professional role, she supports organisations to navigate compliance with clarity and confidence. Lisa is passionate about safeguarding, transparency and building systems that create trust and stability. As someone who is deeply family-oriented, Lisa brings a steady, values-driven approach to leadership, grounded in care, openness, and long-term thinking.
