Trustees – Why, What, and Who?

What does it mean to be a Trustee at RSVP? Sometimes referred to as board members, or the board, our Trustees are volunteers who have duties to act in the best interests of RSVP, ensure we carry out our mission and vision to benefit children and adults subjected to sexual violence and abuse, and manage the charity’s resources responsibly. It’s a great way of contributing to our vision as well as developing strategic and leadership skills at the same time.

To find out more on what it is to be a Trustee read our guide, presented at our last AGM, Trustees – Why, What, and Who?
