Summary of the role of Trustee
Trustees are individually, and as part of the Board, the ‘guardians of charitable purpose’, making sure that all Board and Board Committee decisions put the needs of the beneficiaries first; safeguard the charity’s assets – both physical assets, including property, and intangible ones, such as its reputation ensuring these assets are used well, and in ensuring that the charity is run sustainably.
But this specific role requires the Trustee to Chair the crucial Board’s Income Generation Committee (IGC).
Like other hospices, in the context of Government decisions about tax and minimum wages and in the generally challenging environment for most donors, we are not able to purely fund our work from current donations, meaning we have been drawing from our reserves.
This has to change if we are to survive and satisfy the ever -increasing demands for palliative care.
Main duties and responsibilities:
• Chair the Income Generation Committee, which has the following key priorities:
• Review and constructively challenge the annual fundraising (FR) plans and budget
• Maintain an overview of current fundraising initiatives and their return on investments, working in partnership with the FR team
• Evaluate the risks to achieving projected income streams and advise the FR team and Board accordingly
• In conjunction with the FR team, creatively develop new and potentially high return initiatives that are intended to deliver significant additional income, in excess of current FR budgets
• As part of the Board of Trustees:
• set and maintain vision, mission and values
• ensure plans are in place to deliver income/cost levels that can at least fund current expenditure
• Develop strategy, set overall policy, define strategic objectives and evaluating performance against agreed targets
• Assure continuous compliance with the legal and regulatory standards governing the operation ofthe charity, the charity governing document and any other relevant legislation, updating the articles of association as required.
• Assure proper financial control and ensure the application of resources is exclusively in pursuance of the charitable objects i.e. the charity must not spend money on activities that are not included in its objects, no matter how worthwhile or charitable those activities are
• Assure the effective and efficient administration of the charity including funding, insurance and premises
• Assure that The Hospice of St Francis pursues its objects as defined in its governing document (e.g. the promotion of any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the district of providing palliative care at the Hospice, at patients home, in our Spring Centre and in the community, and in particular the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of distress and sickness)
• Assure employment procedures and policy and proceduresfor volunteering are compliant with legislation and regulation, subject to regular review and support the fulfilment of strategic objectives
• Assure risk assessments for all aspects of the business are carried out including accurate and timely reporting using the format of risk registers
• To contribute to, assure and maintain effective performance of the Board and Committees, including systems and processes for external assessment of these arrangements
• Support the CEO and Executive Team to fulfil their delegated responsibilities and hold them to account for delivery of strategic objectives
• To attend Board meetings quarterly, up to two Board awaydays annually and serve as a member of up to two Committees.
• Able to be registered as a Directors of the Charity at Companies House, sharing ultimate responsibility for governing the charity and directing how it is managed and run.
• Act as an ambassador supporting the work of the Hospice in generating income and in its relationship with the communities served.
The Hospice of St Francis helps local people and their families, in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, to live their precious lives well.
