Trustees -

We are always on the look out for new trustees, bringing new experience and enthusiasm to our friendly board. In a charity such as ours we have and need a broad set of experience on our board (or helping/advising our board) and as such your experience in work or life could be of great benefit to us. We meet every 6-8 weeks and utilise less formal sub-committees to achieve this frequency.

As part of our board post rotation during 2012 we are looking for new blood on our board of trustees.  We are specifically aiming to change the following positions (Company Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-Chair) and hopefully one of these will be filled with a new member to the board.

General trustee responsibilities

  • To ensure that the organisation complies with its governing document, charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations
  • To ensure that the organisation pursues its objects as defined in its governing document
  • To ensure the organisation applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects
  • To contribute actively to the board of trustees' role in giving firm strategic direction to the organisation, setting overall policy, defining goals and setting targets and evaluating performance against agreed targets
  • To safeguard the good name and values of the organisation
  • To ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation
  • To ensure the financial stability of the organisation
  • To protect and manage the property of the charity and to ensure the proper investment of the charity's funds
  • If the charity employs staff, to appoint the chief executive officer and monitor his / her performance.

In addition to the above statutory duties, each trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the board of trustees reach sound decisions. This may involve:

  • Scrutinising board papers
  • Leading discussions
  • Focusing on key issues
  • Providing guidance on new initiatives
  • Other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
