Charity trustees play a vital role in running charities bringing valuable skills, experience and knowledge to organisations. They have responsibility for leading and making strategic decisions while at the same time ensuring that their organisations are well-governed. We are very thankful for the many dedicated trustees that we have in Northern Ireland who lead their organisations regardless of the challenging external climate.
