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.

How can you help us?
We’ve a number of things that we’d like help with at the moment and we’ll be putting together a fuller description of them all shortly. If you think you can help, please get in touch. If you think there’s something you could do to support those affected by PMP and appendix cancers that we’re not already doing, we’d love to hear from you!
