Trustees
-
This is a fantastic opportunity for an exceptional candidate to join Tree Aid on the Board of Trustees, helping to make a true and lasting impact for people and the environment in African dryland communities.
About Tree Aid:
We work with people in the drylands of Africa. Led by local people, our approach focuses on four key areas, working to tackle poverty and the effects of the climate crisis by growing trees, improving incomes, and restoring and protecting land. Our projects make sure trees thrive so they can provide food and
incomes today and protect the environment for tomorrow.Our mission is to help communities living in the drylands of Africa unlock the potential of trees to reduce poverty and protect the environment.
We work to break the vicious cycle of environmental degradation and increased poverty for some of the most vulnerable rural communities in some of the poorest countries in the world. We offer practical knowledge and policy solutions that support the sustainable use and management of natural resources.
Tree Aid has a Board of Trustees which is legally responsible for Tree Aid, its staff and its work. It is a company limited by guarantee and so trustees are also directors of the company.
Overall purpose of the Trustee role:
Trustees take ultimate responsibility for the work that Tree Aid does, and the way in which it spends money given by donors, to achieve its aims. It is a big responsibility, focussing on the strategic direction of the organisation, agreeing plans and budgets, and holding the Chief Executive to account for the delivery of the plans.
It has a legal dimension too, with trustees legally responsible for ensuring that the organisation operates to standards set by Parliament and the Charity Commission.
Specifically, the Board of Trustees is responsible for:
- the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity;
- its financial health;
- the effectiveness of its activities; and,
- ensuring the organisation’s aims, objectives and goals are in accordance with its governing document, and legal and regulatory guidelines.
