About this document
Sets out what the charity expects of its trustees: how they make decisions, behave towards each other, staff and volunteers, handle confidential information, use social media and technology, and represent the charity. It is organised around the eight principles of the 2025 Charity Governance Code and includes a breach procedure and a signed acceptance.
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.
