The main responsibilities of a trustee are:
· Formulating and reviewing CHEER’s vision, values, and strategic direction
· Establishing and monitoring policies to provide guidance for staff
· Ensuring compliance with the Charity’s governing document and the law
· Ensuring accountability to such bodies as the Charities Commission, donors, staff and volunteers
· Managing the Charity’s resources responsibly
· Contributing to the discharge of the Board’s duties and effective Board performance
· Promoting the charity and protecting its excellent reputation
· Appointing staff, giving them guidance and support
· Monitoring the Charity’s performance
· All trustees are expected to adopt Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
