**THE ROLE OF A TRUSTEE AT NCCH**

Being a trustee of NCCH will be an opportunity help shape the future of Creative Health in the UK. This is a dynamic and expanding area of activity with a growing commitment from government and statutory bodies in health, social care and the arts and culture. As a trustee of the NCCH, you will be part of a lively and engaged group of people with varied and rich experience and knowledge.

We encourage trustees to offer support to NCCH in particular areas of expertise, but also welcome the other numerous ways in which people's own individual skills and experiences can inform the work that we do.

NCCH Trustees have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the NCCH and in accordance with NCCH's governing document.

**PRACTICAL COMMITMENTS**

Every Trustee is appointed for a term of three years. Trustees meet 4 times a year. Meetings are held on Zoom. We have one face-to-face 'Awayday' each year.

1-2 weeks before each board meeting, the Trustees receive the board papers.

Trustees will need to agree to being listed as a trustee on the Charity Commission website.

**THE ROLE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF NCCH**

**Trustees will be**:

- Aware of and understand the role of trustees to uphold the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship.
- Committed to advancing health and wellbeing and the role of arts, culture and creativity in supporting our health and wellbeing.
- Willing and able to commit time and energy to support the organisation to be sustainable and well managed.

**Legal requirements**:
The legal duty of a charity trustee is to:

- Act in the charity's best interests
- Manage the charity's resources responsibly
- Act with reasonable care and skill

Please check that you are not disqualified from being a trustee here: automatic disqualification guidance for charities

**PROCEDURE FOR RECRUITING TRUSTEES**
- NCCH follows its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy and Action Plan, Safer Recruitment Policy, and Trustee Recruitment Policy when recruiting trustees.
- We ask all applicants to give us a brief CV and covering letter explaining the skills they can offer and why they would like to be a trustee. We may also ask for the name of two referees, which we may choose to follow up prior to any trustee appointment.
- Applicants will be interviewed by the Chair of the Board and one other trustee and the Director.
- New trustees are then formally agreed by the existing Board members and appointed by a resolution at a properly convened Board Meeting.

The National Centre for Creative Health is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. NCCH expects all staff, trustees, and associated personnel to share this commitment. NCCH has a clear safeguarding policy and, if appropriate, will make checks prior to any offer of appointment.

**WELCOMING A NEW TRUSTEE: INDUCTION**

Some things need to be done as soon as a trustee is appointed. Other things can be done when it is convenient for everyone (perhaps within 6 months).

**Immediate**:

- Fill in declaration form.
- Receive and read our Trustee Induction Pack, outlining trustee roles and responsibilities, and a copy of our core policies and Constitution. (NB this is done electronically)

**When convenient**:

- Meet with the Director and Chair of Trustees to
