The Role of Trustees
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of REACH. Charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of our charity. They are responsible for compliance, duty of prudence and duty of care. For more information, on the role of a trustee, please visit: www.comisiwnelusennau.gov.uk
We are lucky at Reach to have ten trustees coming from a wide range of backgrounds, from construction to education. For further information, please see below.
