Views from current trustees
Trust
“Being a Trustee at Resolve is giving me an opportunity to help in an area which I have great empathy with.”
Passion
“I chose to join Resolve as a Trustee because I wanted the opportunity to participate more actively in issues within my community in Hertfordshire."
Partnership
“I love being part of a collaborative team who care about our cause. For me it’s all about working together for the those we work with and the people who benefit."
Respect
“ As a Trustee it’s great to support a charity that is making such a difference to families and communities.”
The amount of time spent on Resolve matters will vary for each Trustee and from month to month.
Formal board meetings take place 4-6 times a year, usually on a weekday evening.
However, Trustees will meet up with fellow Trustees and with staff and volunteers in-between these formal meetings to work on projects, provide oversight and offer support.
Please take a look at the Trustee Information Pack.
