Our trustees help behind-the-scenes doing various jobs, like admin, organising, and helping to improve Scouts for all. You won’t need to come to Scouts every week, run a session, or give up all your free time. If you’re not keen on working directly with young people, that’s OK too. Trustees do lots of things out of the spotlight, and there’s lots you can do from home. In terms of effort, the Group Executive Committee have approximately 3 to max 6 meetings per year which lasted between 1-2 hours; however in the GEC a lot of operational points would be discussed which will not be part of the Trustee Board. The Trustee Board will have the role to oversee the group from a governance perspective. The following tasks are done by the Trustee Board: GOVERNANCE TASKS - Make sure sufficient resources (funds, people, property and equipment) are available for the delivery of a high quality programme - Make sure the charity's finances are properly managed, including appropriate budgets - Make sure there's effective administration in place to support the work of the Trustee Board - Take responsibility for following Data Protection legislation - Make sure everyone follows legal requirements and Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) - Make sure employed staff are managed effectively SUPPORT OR OPERATIONAL TASKS - Fundraising activities; premises management and equipment maintenance - Bookkeeping, banking, paying invoices and expenses - Distribute agendas, minutes, etc. for meetings and AGMS; manage appointments to the Board - Manage any websites, email systems, or document stores - Act as line manager, supporting staff in their work
