In the UK, a charity trustee is a volunteer who has legal responsibility for overseeing and managing a charity. Trustees are responsible for making sure the charity is well run, its money is properly managed, and it is achieving its charitable objectives. Trustees are accountable to the charity’s beneficiaries, its donors, and the wider public. Trustee duties include setting strategy, monitoring performance, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and making sure the charity’s resources are used effectively to further its charitable purposes.

Shining a light on our volunteers – Susie
I was more than happy to become a volunteer admin, remembering how important I found the reassurance of the woman I spoke to before my surgery and the help and support I received from the group after it.

I’m achieving something here. I matter. I am making a difference. Feeling a useful part of the volunteer team perhaps pays back some of the support I’ve received.
