Trustee information & guidance pack

There are over 100,000 Scottish charity trustees, all of which play a vital role. A charity trustee has clear legal duties to observe, and overall you must act in the charity’s best interests and aim to meet its stated purposes.

This pack is designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to run a charity effectively.

It contains:

  • An overview of what it means to be a charity trustee
  • The key points to running a charity properly
  • Sources of help and advice
  • The OSCR guidance they need to read that is appropriate for their charity.

Please answer the questions below and a trustee pack that is relevant for your charity will be available to download. Remember, we are always updating guidance so we suggest re-doing the questionnaire at least once a year to make sure your suggestions are up to date.
