The six main duties of charity trustees as articulated by The Charity Commission in The Essential Trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do, are well-publicised but how do effective boards use good governance to support their trustees and leaders in their roles?
Sometimes governance can be negatively perceived as ‘bureaucracy’ that gets in the way of the charity’s mission being fulfilled and business being discharged. However, done well, effective governance helps charity trustees and leaders with effective decision-making and to use innovation to drive their charity’s mission.
We will examine what it means to be a charity trustee, the role of charity trustees and the key legal frameworks they operate in. We will also look at pragmatic techniques that charity trustees can apply in fulfilling their roles and discharging their legal duties.
