Committee Roles and Responsibilities Pack

About this document

What it’s for

Volunteers are more likely to take on a committee role – and do it well – if they know what is expected. Clear role descriptions also avoid gaps and overlaps, protect the group’s money and help when roles change hands. This pack gives a ready-to-adapt description for each main role and a code of conduct for the committee.

When to use it

  • When recruiting for committee roles before an AGM
  • When a new person takes on a role
  • When reviewing how the committee works

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Adapt each role description to your group’s size and activities
  • Ask every committee member to sign the code of conduct and declaration of interests each year
  • Use the welcome checklist for each new committee member

Key points to check

  • Make sure financial duties are shared – no one person should control all of the group’s money
  • Keep declarations of interest up to date

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
