Being a charity trustee: understanding your role and responsibilities

Good governance sits at the heart of an effective charity. But what does good governance look like in practice, and what do charity trustees need to know to fulfil their responsibilities confidently and effectively?

Join our Charities & Third Sector team for an online seminar exploring the essentials of charity law, trusteeship and governance in Scotland.

We will look at:

• Scotland’s charity law and regulatory framework;
• the role and legal duties of charity trustees, including the standard of care and conflicts of interest;
• the building blocks of good governance;
• practical approaches to effective decision-making; and
• what lies ahead for charities and their trustees.

Whether you are a new trustee, an experienced trustee looking for a refresher, or are considering joining a charity board for the first time, this session will provide a practical grounding in the responsibilities of trusteeship and effective governance.
