Pages two to four contain eight key points for trustees to tick-off. These eight key points are useful if you are new to being a trustee and you're not 100% sure of what to expect.
The key points outline the following:
- Get to know your charity (its purpose, governing rules, operations)
- Expect to do things soon (attend meetings, make decisions quick)
- Get to know your six main trustee duties (be clear on duties and public benefit)
- Sending financial documents to the Charity Commission; keeping register details up-to-date, accounts and annual return
- How the Charity Commission can help you as a trustee
- What to do and who to contact if things go wrong
The last pages contains list of organisations that can help or assist trustees, we like this feature as well!
