  1. Who we are

Governance

Trustees collective responsibilities, individual strengths and terms of office

Our trustees bring their skills and experience, providing support in a non-executive capacity. They have a duty to act collectively to deliver the charity’s objectives and provide public benefit – reporting annually to OSCR. Specifically, they have collective responsibility for:

  • strategic oversight
  • maintaining standards
  • legal and regulatory compliance
  • ensuring proper financial controls
  • risk management

Trustees’ individual skills and experience include:

  • Art Therapy delivery and research
  • Lived experience as a parent of a child with a chronic condition
  • Strategic planning
  • Communications
  • Governance
  • Financial control and risk management

Our SCIO constitution, updated May 2021, stipulates that trustees can serve for 3 years and be re-elected for up to a further 3 at which point they must step down. 

Induction of trustees includes:

  • Attendance at a board meeting as a guest
  • Meeting the staff team
  • A visit to a partner hospital
  • Our history
  • OSCR’s guidance for charity trustees 
  • SCIO constitution
  • Annual report and accounts
  • Annual review
  • Strategic plan - and annual strategy day.
  • Case for support
  • Fundraising plan
  • Minutes of recent trustees’ meetings
  • Governance Policy
  • Code of Conduct for Trustees
  • Trustees Conflicts of Interest Policy

Meetings and sub-committees

Trustees' meetings take place six times a year in alternate months. The Finance sub-committee, chaired by a CA, meets monthly for financial scrutiny and control with full management accounts produced every month. We have two stakeholder groups that link into the board – a Young Voices group and a Service Advisory group.
