The Board of Trustees is elected annually. Members of the Board are nominated by VAC Members in accordance with the requirements of the Memorandum and Article of Association (our governing document).

The Board of Trustees employs a paid Executive Director to oversee the daily management of the organisation and to deliver the organisation’s aims and objectives.

Some of the roles of a trustee include:

• To ensure that the charity remains true to its mission and values
• To determine its strategy
• To act as the point of final accountability for its actions and those of its representatives and staff
• To safeguard its assets

While Trustees often bring a wealth of skills and experience to the table, becoming a Trustee or Board Member often has unexpected benefits, for example, gaining extra skills, aiding professional development and networking with colleagues.
