The Trustees
The Lyneal Trust is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (No. 516224) and is run by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees make sure the Trust:
- has a clear set of goals or strategy
- is making sure the action to achieve those goals is being taken
- meets its legal and financial obligations
Why do people become trustees?
Being a trustee should be rewarding and enjoyable. It is a great way to be involved in a community or cause which matters to you. Trustees come from all walks of life and being a trustee can help you meet new people, change your community for the better, learn new skills or use your existing skills in a new context.
You may get involved because it is a cause or an issue you are passionate about or it may be your life has been touched by the work of the voluntary organisation. You may want to build your CV, have experience of strategy and management or find out more about the not-for-profit sector before making a career change.
Being a trustee can expose you to new experiences and new groups of people. It can present you with new challenges, constructive and exciting ones as well as some more difficult things to overcome. You are part of a team as a trustee and will have the opportunity to add your unique skills and experience while learning from others too.
At its heart, being a trustee puts you at the centre of the action for the organisation you are involved in. The more effective the board of trustees, the greater difference you and your organisation will make.
