Charity Commission report: Taken on Trust: awareness and effectiveness of charity trustees in England and Wales
The Charity Commission has published a major new report into trusteeship which calls for changes in the way boards are recruited and supported.
The report, Taken on Trust: the Awareness and Effectiveness of Charity Trustees in England and Wales, finds that there are 150,000 fewer trustees in the UK than previously believed. Trustee payment remains relatively rare, with only 2,000 charities – 1.6 per cent – paying trustees.
