Governance
The Board of Trustees is comprised of Nominated Trustees, who are appointed by Ludlow Town Council for periods of four years, and Co-opted Trustees, who are appointed by their fellow Trustees, for periods of five years.When making new appointments, the Trustees look for people who will balance and complement the range of skills and experience among their members. New Trustees are assisted in various ways by the Trust’s staff and other Trustees to become acquainted with their responsibilities and to tackle their demanding but fulfilling roles. The Board of Trustees consists of people with very wide experience in disciplines that are useful to the Trust and beneficial to those it serves. For example, current Trustees come from backgrounds that include medicine, law, property, industry, the Church, education, engineering, human resources, science, sheltered housing, town planning and accountancy. This combination of skills and experience amongst Board members does much to ensure the Trust’s success.The Board of Trustees is responsible for all of the Trust’s activities and meets quarterly to receive reports, make decisions and determine strategy. Among its many responsibilities, the Board takes responsibility for identifying and managing any risks to the Trust’s assets or to the efficient and safe undertaking of its responsibilities.The Board also oversees the financial health of the Trust, ensuring that management of its investments and accounts are secure and that the income is sufficient to meet the demands of the Almshouse and Grant-making programmes. These elements comprise the core purpose for the Trust’s existence and their efficacy is kept under constant review by the Trustees.
