The Role of Trustees
Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. The Charity Commission state that Trustees have six main duties:
1. Ensure your charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit
2. Comply with your charity’s governing document and the law
3. Act in your charity’s best interests
4. Manage your charity’s resources responsibly
5. Act with reasonable care and skill
6. Ensure your charity is accountable
Our Trustees
The Board of Trustees is composed of Louis’ parents, John and Penny Ross, together with friends of Louis who have generously agreed to help the charity achieve its goals. The Trustees are all volunteers. The Foundation has no paid staff and no premises, so virtually all of the funds raised will be directly invested in the areas outlined in the Foundation’s constitution. The Foundation has six trustees on its Board and meets on a quarterly basis:
Penny Ross (Chair)
John Ross (Treasurer)
Ray Brash
Tim Evans
Richard Stevenson
