Charity trustees can only be removed for valid reasons, and the process for doing so will depend on the procedures outlined in a charity’s governing document.

When making decisions, always keep the charity’s purposes at the forefront. If personal conflicts arise, consider using mediation as a constructive way forward. You can find more information on mediation through the Scottish Mediation website.
