Role Overview & Responsibilities
Scope of the Board
Greenwich Giving is currently an incubated project and derives its charitable status from
its position within METRO Charity. At the start of their term, board members will therefore
not be legal charity trustees. However, the intention is for Greenwich Giving to move
towards becoming an independent organisation that is registered with the Charity
Commission (by December 2026). We would like Board members recruited in this round to
be committed to becoming our first full trustees and support us through the charity
registration process.
Key responsibilities of all Board Members
• Attend a quarterly Board meeting of around 90 minutes
• Prepare for that meeting by reviewing a (brief) set of papers in advance
• Provide the Head of Greenwich Giving with feedback on strategic decisions
• Promote the scheme through their networks, whether that is businesses,
communities, charities or individuals in the borough
• Commit to contributing any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to
help the board of trustees reach sound decisions.
• When Greenwich Giving becomes a registered charity, being aware of and
upholding the legal responsibilities of a trustee
Time Commitment: it is anticipated that the above duties will require the commitment of
approximately 2 hours/month from each Board member.
