Trustees: Miscellaneous

You might find it useful, when setting up a new charity, to note the various topics relating to trustees which are included in these various checklists for formation of charities: Charitable Company Formation Checklist, Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Formation Checklist, Unincorporated Charitable Association (UCA) Formation Checklist and Charitable Trust (CT) Formation Checklist.

As to recruitment of trustees, see Charity Excellence Framework's guidance and the Charity Commission website

For information about how the Charities Act 2022 enables trustees to supply goods or services to their charity and to be paid for them, see Sale of Goods by trustees to their charity and payment for work carried out by trustees. 

Note also that the 2022 Act conferred powers on the Charity Commission to resolve uncertainties or defects in the appointment or election of charity trustees.
