What is a Trustee?
Trustees are the people who give their time and expertise for free. They use their skills an experience to lead charities and decide how they are run. Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. Being a trustee means making decisions that will impact on people’s lives.
What is a Board of Trustees?
The Board of Trustees (sometimes also called Members or Directors) usually comprises about ten or eleven in number, although there is no upper limit.
