Members are the custodians of the Trust’s governance and constitutional arrangements. Similar to shareholders in a company, they provide independent oversight and hold the Board of Trustees to account.
Key responsibilities include:
- Appointing and removing Trustees where appropriate.
- Amending the Articles of Association, subject to relevant restrictions.
- Appointing the Trust’s external auditors.
Whilst Members have important constitutional responsibilities, the day-to-day governance and strategic leadership of the Trust is delegated to the Board of Trustees.
