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.

I’m keen to show my children that volunteering your time and energy is important and that despite my medical retirement I’m not giving up on my values.
