What do our Governors do?

Our governors are the guardians of our mission and values, and they help us achieve our objectives.

Governors have two main areas of responsibility: 

Holding the Board of Directors to account

The governors’ statutory responsibilities are to:

• appoint (and, if appropriate, remove) the Chair and non-executive directors
• appoint (and, if appropriate, remove) the external auditors
• approve the appointment of the Chief Executive
• decide the pay and terms of office for the Chair and non-executive directors
• receive the annual report and accounts
• contribute to the annual plan
• ensure that the Trust operates in accordance with its terms of authorisation
• hold the Board of Directors to account for the performance of the Trust

Representing members and partner organisations

Governors are our link between our members and the directors who make decisions about our services. They are responsible for representing the views of members and partner organisations to the Board of Directors, and feeding back information about the Trust and its performance.
