Wondering what’s expected of you as a charity trustee?
Or looking for an experienced sounding board?
Then download your copy of our guide for charity trustees that covers many of the bases that aren’t touched on in the official literature. Written by two people who have served on trustee boards for over two decades, you’ll probably find at least a few tips that you can apply in your role as trustee. If you find the Guide useful, then send this page link to your friends and acquaintances who you think might also benefit. And thank you for offering your time as trustee!
What does it mean to be the trustee of a charity? What are you expected to do? How much commitment is needed? What is your role? How much influence do you have? How do you interact with your fellow trustees? These are all questions that everyone taking on the role of trustee should understand.
Sure, there is guidance available to help charity trustees fulfil their roles – from the government, from the Charities Commission and from other bodies. In so far as it goes, that guidance is fine and is certainly essential reading for anyone serving as a trustee or intending to be one.
In our short, easily digestible report, we have put together our collective experience of some of the most challenging aspects of being a charity trustee, scotching a number of misconceptions about the role and offering some simple pointers to success.
Don’t be unnerved by the scenarios we paint. Your work as a trustee is desperately needed in our society. But do heed some of the pitfalls and danger signs that often undermine a trustee’s efforts.
We hope that you find this short piece of value in your work as a trustee.
