The Responsibilities
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, non executive directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases.
Trustees have and must accept ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and delivering the charitable outcomes for the benefit of the public for which it has been set up.
Ensure Compliance - Trustees Must:
- Ensure that the charity complies with charity law and with the requirements of the Charity Commission as regulator; in particular ensure that the charity prepares reports on what it has achieved and Annual Returns and Accounts as required by law.
- Ensure that the charity does not breach any of the requirements or rules set out in its governing document and that it remains true to the charitable purpose and objects set out there.
- Comply with the requirements of other legislation and other regulators (if any) which govern the activities of the charity.
- Act with integrity, and avoid any personal conflicts of interest or misuse of charity funds or assets.
