Boards and comittees

Trustees are elected for 3 years to the board at our AGM and, subject to re-election, serve for a maximum 6 year term.

The trustees meet 4 times a year as a board. In addition to this the boards work is supported by a number of subcommittees.

Currently our subcomittees are:

• The Board Development and Charity Governance Committee - oversees the development of strategy, organisational development and governance.
• The Audit Performance and Risk Committee - responsible for appointing the external auditors, reviewing THT’s accounts and financial controls, and reviewing the Trust’s statements and actions on risk and internal controls.
• The Board Shortlisting Committee - which identifies which of the applicants who apply to become candidates for Board election meet the requirements of the Trustee specification.
• The Clinical and Service Governance Committee - which oversees any clinical services provided by the charity.

The membership of these committees is drawn from Trustees, Executive Directors and lay members. Lay members are often specialists who possess a particular expertise relevant to the work of the committee.
