The Hospice Trustees are responsible for the governance of the Hospice. The role of the Board is to ensure that the charity functions within the law and in accordance with Charity Commission rules; that resources are managed efficiently; that there is a clear overall vision and strategy; and that all policies and procedures are in place to manage risk.
All major policy decisions concerning the overall direction of the Hospice are made by the Board guided by the advice of the Senior Management Team. The Board meets bi monthly. A number of Steering Groups, each with Trustee representation, operate to monitor the different aspects of the Hospice. The Board elects Trustees for a three year term of office.
