Trustees play a really important role to charities, they’re volunteers but by becoming one it can be such a rewarding way to make a difference.

Trustees have a legal responsibility for a charity. They look after everything from the strategy, how it's run and direction of the charity, to the administration, finances and protecting the charity's assets. They work together, making decisions that can impact people's lives, by putting the beneficiaries at the heart of everything they do.
