Committee Roles and Responsibilities Pack
About this document
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.
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.
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.
