Duties and responsibilities of charity trustees
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members etc. Whatever their name, anyone who is responsible for the general control and management of the administration of a charity is classed as a charity trustee (Charities Act 1993, s.47).
The duties and responsibilities of charity trustees have been set out in a variety of forms, but it is sensible to refer to the current Charity Commission guidance contained in their publication, The Essential trustee: What you need to know (CC3).
