The Role of a Trustee

Dewis Centre for Independent Living is a registered charity and therefore has Trustees. The Trustees act as a management committee who oversee the running of the organisation. The Chief Executive is answerable to the Trustees and is charged with managing the day-to-day running of the organisation. The Trustees meet every month as either a full management Trustee meeting or as their Human Resources or Finance sub committee.

As a user led organisation, the constitution of the organisation determines that two thirds of the Charity’s Trustees should be disabled people. It also stipulates that the majority of its members should be disabled people too.

The current Trustees Management Committee has 12 Trustees, 8 of whom are users of Direct Payments.
