The Stars Appeal Charitable Funds Committee
The Stars Appeal is widening membership of its Charitable Funds Committee to include independent representatives from outside the Hospital for the first time. Similar to a trustee role, new members will strengthen governance and provide fresh perspective and insight to support the charity.
What difference will you make?
Independent Members of the Stars Appeal Charitable Funds Committee will contribute to the effective governance, oversight and strategic stewardship of the Stars Appeal. They help ensure that charitable funds are raised and used responsibly, transparently and to maximum benefit of beneficiaries - the patients at Salisbury District Hospital. They will help the charity to raise money, and to shape the projects and partnerships with the Hospital that make such a big difference for patients. They will help the Hospital to deliver better care than the NHS could alone.

What will you be doing?
NHS charities operate within a distinctive governance framework. While the charity is formally governed by a Corporate Trustee – Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust – much of the responsibility for governance, oversight and decisions about the use of charitable funds is delegated to the Charitable Funds Committee (CFC).

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The CFC features senior Hospital staff (Managing Director, Chief Nursing Officer, Non-Executive Directors, Finance Director) with meeting material prepared by Charity staff. These new independent appointments will join a more empowered committee with delegated authority, operating more like a Trustee body. New Subcommittees are being created covering Finance, Audit and Risk, and Income Generation and Communications - adding to the pre-existing Grants Subcommittee. The new appointments will sit on at least one of these and be part of an exciting new era for the charity.
The CFC will use its newly expanded skills base in support of the Charity Director and excellent executive team to enhance the Stars Appeal's partnership with Salisbury District Hospital, and its links with the local community that supports the charity and its projects so generously.
