Some thoughts on being a trustee of a UK charity
Monday, June 1st, 2015
We now have a new lady on the charity’s committee since she was approved at the AGM. Is she a trustee or is she not?
Unlike normal charitys we have trustees who make the decisions and committee members who supposedly are not trustees and do as they are told.
It now gets a little murky as the committee members are none the less entered on Charity Commission records as being trustees.
Except in the case of our new lady member she has yet to appear on Charity Commission records.
In the old days new committee members were asked to fill in their name and address and sign a Charity Commission form which they did without question believing it was just red tape. This was an official record of their appointment as a trustee of the charity.
Our “gang of four” who run the charity and call themselves “The Trustees” must be worried their new colleague might actually read what she is signing and smell a very large rat.
