“A trustee’s role in a charity is to be the ‘guardians of purpose’, making sure that all decisions put the needs of the beneficiaries first. They safeguard the charity’s assets – both physical assets, including property, and intangible ones, such as its reputation. They make sure these are used well and that the charity is run sustainably.” Reach Volunteering 2020

Charity trustees play a very important role in making sure that the charity is run in the interests of the people it is there to support. They strategically oversee the management and administration of the organisation. Being a trustee can be very rewarding. As a trustee you will part of the Bedfordshire Open Door team and will have the opportunity to use your expertise and experience to develop the organisation and support the team.
