What does a trustee do?

Trustees work as a group with collective responsibility for ensuring that Romsey Mill fulfils its purposes for the common good. Trustees plan and review the charity’s work on a regular basis. Championing and promoting Romsey Mill is also an important part of the role.

As a trustee you will have the opportunity to:

• Grow the wellbeing & life chances of people and communities
• Develop new skills, with induction & training
• Influence and shape strategic development
• Provide oversight of key activities
• Network and grow relational connections

The expected time commitment is six main board meetings each year, a quarterly smaller group meeting and an annual development day. There are also opportunities to support at events and meet participants. Travel and other related expense are covered
