More trustees wanted.

We are now looking for additional trustees to join us. To ensure continued development of PL-ease, we are keen to welcome people with a diverse range of skills and experiences on to the trustee panel. Diversity will help us to widen our horizons. Additional resource will also allow us to take on extra fundraising projects.

Trustees should be prepared to give one night a month to attend the trustee meetings, and also be willing to commit additional time to fundraising and promotional activities. Trustees will require to be CRB checked, and must conform with requirements of the Charity Commission for trustees.

Trustees of the charity do not recieve a salary. This enables the charity to minimise admin costs, and maximises benefit to the people the charity aims to support.

The Charity Commission website gives further details about who can become a trustee, and the role of trustees. See: http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/publications/cc3.asp#b2

In summary:

"Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. Charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of a charity."

"Ineligible people: Those who have already been disqualified as company directors and those who have been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty or deception are some of the people who cannot usually become trustees. In some cases, people who receive benefits from the charity may also be ineligible."

If you would like to join us at an exciting time for the project, please e-mail pjarvis@pl-ease.org.uk

Many thanks,
PJ
