Trustee
Hive is a community arts charity in Shipley, Bradford. We deliver arts and crafts courses, workshops and projects from our centre in Shipley and across Bradford District. We believe that creativity contributes to good health and wellbeing and helps to bring communities together.
Trustees take on the ultimate legal and financial responsibility for all the activities of the charity. They maintain an overview of policy and strategic direction, ensure that staff and volunteers are supported in their work, and make sure that the charity is equipped and resourced to pursue its outcomes.
What do Trustees do?
Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the charity carries out its activities for the public benefit, in line with its charitable objectives and powers.
The Trustees take collective responsibility and have a legal duty to:
- comply with the charity’s governing document and the law
- act in the charity’s best interests
- manage the charity’s resources responsibly
- act with reasonable care and skill
- ensure the charity is accountable.
The Trustees meet monthly for a couple of hours, with some preparation and follow-up between meetings. Additional ad hoc meetings may also be held, as necessary, to discuss specific issues. Meetings are usually held in person, but may also be held online.
Who can be a Trustee?
You must be at least 16 years old to be a Trustee of Hive.
There are certain criteria that disqualify you from being a Trustee, mostly around bankruptcy, tax fraud, previous removal as a Trustee or Director, or convictions for certain offences. Further details can be found in the role description.
