Some thoughts on being a trustee of a UK charity
Sunday, May 4th, 2014
Though our board of trustees nominally numbers 9 members, 4 of our trustees have decided that they are “super” trustees and will make all the decisions. Sadly, they see this situation as only right and proper. After all it is “their” charity and they are going to run it as they see fit, which seems to be for their benefit.
If we suggest good governance is important and that we should obey charity law this is treated with derision, these laws are just ridiculous red tape and an impedance. Anyway, they are not intended to be applied to charities like ours!
If you suggested this was in any way corrupt they would no doubt be outraged but it is definitely a state of affairs that spells long term doom for our charity.
