What skills do I need?
A trustee with a legal background, whether in practice or in business, will help ensure the smooth operation of our services. There will be challenges for the board moving the charity to an incorporated CIO.
Your experience will be invaluable in highlighting potential issues connected with the provision of services to vulnerable people in the community.
