Appointment of trustees (1)There must be at least three trustees. Every trustee must be appointed for a term of five years by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting called under clause 15 of this deed. Trustees may be re-elected. (2)In selecting individuals for appointment as trustees, the trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. (3)The trustees must keep a record of the name and address and the dates of appointment, re-appointment and retirement of each trustee. (4)The trustees must make available to each new trustee, on his or her first appointment: (a) a copy of this deed and any amendments made to it; (b)a copy of the charity's latest report and statement of accounts. Eligibility for trusteeship (1)No one shall be appointed as a trustee: (a)if he or she is under the age of 18 years; or (b)if he or she would at once be disqualified from office under the provisions of clause 11 of this deed. (2)No one shall be entitled to act as a trustee whether on appointment or on any re-appointment as trustee until he or she has expressly acknowledged, in whatever way the trustees decide, his or her acceptance of the office of trustee of the charity. Termination of trusteeship A trustee shall cease to hold office if he or she: (1)is disqualified for acting as a trustee by virtue of sections 118 and 179 of the Charities Act 2011 or any statutory re-enactment or modification of that provision; (2)becomes incapable by reason of mental disorder, illness or injury of managing his or her own affairs; (3)is absent without the permission of the trustees from all their meetings held within a period of six months and the trustees resolve that his or her office be vacated; or (4)notifies to the trustees a wish to resign (but only if enough trustees will remain in office when the notice of resignation takes effect to form a quorum for meetings). Vacancies If a vacancy occurs the trustees must note the fact in the minutes of their next meeting. Any eligible trustee may be re-appointed. If the number of trustees falls below the quorum in Clause 17(1), none of the powers or discretion's conferred by this deed or by law on the trustees shall be exercisable by the remaining trustees except the power to appoint new trustees. Ordinary meetings The trustees must hold at least two ordinary meetings each year. One such meeting in each year must involve the physical presence of those trustees who attend the meeting. Other meetings may take such form, including videoconferencing, as the trustees decide provided that the form chosen enables the trustees both to see and to hear each other. Calling meetings The trustees must arrange at each of their meetings the date, time and place of their next meeting, unless such arrangements have already been made. Ordinary meetings may also be called at any time by the person elected to chair meetings of the trustees or by any two trustees. In that case not less than ten days' clear notice must be given to the other trustees. The first meeting of the trustees must be called by 1st August 2013 or, if no meeting has been called within six months after the date of this deed, by any two of the trustees. Special meetings A special meeting may be called at any time by the person elected to chair-meetings of the trustees or by any two trustees. Not less than four days' clear notice must be given to the other trustees of the matters to be discussed at the meeting. However, if those matters include the appointment of a trustee or a proposal to amend any of the trusts of this deed, not less than 21 days' notice must be given. A special meeting may be called to take place immediately after or before an ordinary meeting. Voting At meetings, decisions must be made by a majority of the trustees present and voting |
