  • Understand and support the organisation’s mission, goals, policies, programmes, services, strengths, and needs;
  • Focus on strategic issues for the organisation rather than detailed management decisions;
  • Support the majority decision on issues decided by the Board;
  • Assist the organisation where appropriate by attracting potential income streams through personal contact with others (individuals, organisations, companies, etc.);
  • Attend meetings regularly, prepare for them (including reading the papers), and participate actively;
  • Maintain independence and objectivity, and act with a sense of fairness and personal integrity;
  • Maintain the confidentiality of confidential details of the organisation’s business and of Board meetings;
  • Show appropriate respect to other trustees, staff, members, and stakeholders of the organisation;
  • Be fully aware of the Charity Commission Codes of Governance and use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the business of the organisation is conducted in the way required by it;
  • Avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest and disclose any possible conflicts to the Board in a timely fashion and in accordance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy.
  • All Board members report directly to the Chair.
  • Board members should be prepared to serve on one or more of the subcommittees of the Board.
