The responsibility for managing a charity falls upon the charity
trustees. In guiding, the charity trustees of a unit or area are
typically:
- the voting members of a County or Country/Region Executive
Committee
- the members of a Division or District Committee
- the Leader and any Assistant Leader(s) of a unit.
If a unit leader has general control and management of the
administration of a unit (including the unit funds) and complies
with Girlguiding UK procedures then she is in fact fulfilling her
obligations as a charity trustee’
Under the Charities Act 1993, anyone who has been made bankrupt
or has entered into a formal arrangement with creditors may not act
as a charity trustee until discharged, unless the Charity
Commission grants a waiver.
