Youth Trust Board of Trustees
Under Charity Law, Trustees are the ‘persons having the general control and management of the administration of the charity.’
Therefore, Trustees are ultimately responsible for the affairs of the charity. Their responsibility is both collective and individual and delegation to others does not absolve a Trustee of responsibility.
Delegated authority needs to be recorded and reviewed regularly. Individuals and Committees with delegated authority need to report back and be held to account by Trustees.
