Trustees are unpaid members of the charity who are either elected to the board by the other members of THT or invited to join the board because of their specialist knowledge. We're currently seeking to recruit Trustees - if you're interested you can find out more here.

The memorandum and articles of association are approved by the Charity Commission, and are regularly reviewed by trustees to ensure they remain up to date.
