A trustee is a person who takes care of the work of a charity, making sure it meets its charitable aims and carries out everything it does in a legal and professional way. Trustees have meetings every few months to check on, plan and discuss the work of the charity.<\/span> Trustees do not get paid for being trustees, but they do get
expenses for any travel etc.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
