Trustee appointments are made for a period of three years, after which they are reviewed by the Board and considered for re-appointment. Trustee positions are voluntary and there is no renumeration. Basic expenses and reasonable travel expenses to enable you to attend meetings will be reimbursed.

The Board usually meets 4 times a year, in the evening, normally in person in Rochdale. Meetings last 2 hours with reading time needed before hand for papers. Whilst our meetings are in person, we are keen to make being a Trustee as accessible as possible so welcome applications from people who might only be able to join us remotely, although we aim to hold one in-person away day each year.

Many of our Trustees also sit on the sub-committees mentioned above, although this is not necessary for you to be appointed to the Board. Our sub-committees meet four times a year, usually a couple of weeks before the full Board meeting.
