  • Board/trustee role


Description

Volunteer board members or trustees as we are sometimes called play a part in ensuring that the charity meets its stated objectives and that it is a financially sustainable. They are responsible for the charity's governance and strategy, and for making sure that the charity is administered effectively. They must account for its activities and outcomes.
To ensure that our board has capacity going forward we are looking to recruit new members to our board.
