The Role of our Trustees

Our Trustees are responsible for ensuring we comply with charity law, and comply with our governing document.

The board accepts collective responsibility for ensuring the charity has a clear and relevant set of aims and a strategy for achieving them.

The board ensures the charity's aims and values are reflected in all of our work and the ethos and culture of the charity underpins the delivery of all our activities.

The National Council for Voluntary Organisations - Essentials Good Trustee Guide covers what a trusteeship is, what a trustee does, who are trustee's and how to become a trustee.

One third of the trustees retire from office by rotation, and are eligible to offer themselves for re-election. Re-election is at the next Annual General Meeting. Our trustees have a range of experience and skills in education, business, management, HR, accountancy, IT and employment.  Our Trustees also have extensive experience in autism, learning disabilities, hidden impairments and mental health conditions in personal and professional capacities. 

To ensure the efficient running of the organisation the trustees have delegated the management of the organisation to the Senior Management Team via the Chief Executive.
