The Trustee Role
Charity trustees are the people who share ultimate responsibility for governing a charity and directing how it is managed and run. Being a trustee carries a lot of responsibility – it means making decisions that will impact on people’s lives.
It is also incredibly rewarding – you will be making a difference to some of the most 2 marginalised and vulnerable communities in the world, and helping tackle the climate emergency for those who have been impacted the most.
