Could you be a Board Member / Trustee ?
To assist the project towards full charitable status, we are looking to appoint a number of future trustees who will help shape and guide the project. As a Trustee you will play a very important role in making sure that the charity is run in the interests of the people it is there to support, and working with the management team, board and committee oversee the management and administration of the organisation.
The Role of a Trustee ..
Trustees ensure their charity has a clear strategy, and that its work and goals are in line with its vision. As one of our trustees, your role in The Floating Stage project will be as ‘guardians of purpose’, making sure that all decisions put the needs of the beneficiaries first.
You will safeguard the charity’s assets – both physical assets, including property, and intangible ones, such as its reputation, making sure these are used well and that the charity is run sustainably.
Trustees don’t usually do the day-to-day running of the charity. They delegate and liaise with the volunteer management team, led by the Chairman. Instead, they play the role of a ‘critical friend’ to the Chair by giving support and by challenging – in a supportive way – to help them manage effectively. However, in smaller charities with few staff, trustees may take hands-on roles too.
Most trustee boards meet four to eight times a year. Many boards have sub-committees that focus on particular areas of work or projects, and this may be the case with The Floating Stage given the wide scope of tasks involved in running the project. Trustees may therefore be expected to get involved with one or more sub-committees, as well as having a good understanding of the charity’s work overall.
