Recruiting charity trustees
Charity trustees are the people who control and manage a charity. They are responsible for the charity’s governance, strategy and making sure it is well-run.
Recruiting a new charity trustee can be a challenging task. There are rules you must follow in charity law, and your charity may also have its own rules in its governing document.
A governing document, also known as a constitution, is a written statement that outlines a charity’s purpose, structure, and operational procedures. It serves as the rulebook for the organisation, setting out its aims, who is responsible for running it, how it operates, and how its assets are managed.
