toggle menuMENU Strong board of trustees/directors Question:Strong board of trustees/directorsAnswer: Your board or committee is responsible for ensuring that your organisation is run properly and effectively. In a charitable organisation board members are called trustees, and their role is usually expected to be entirely voluntary. Define clearly the roles and responsibilities, including strategic oversight, financial management, and risk management (see our resource about Trustees). Charity trustees should review their legal duties under the Charity Commission’s guidelines.
