Quality leadership

Voluntary and honorary trusteeship makes the charity sector distinct from the public and private sectors.

Trustees should not be paid anything other than expenses as the public is less likely to support charities if trustees are getting paid. To support voluntary action, trustees must be "voluntary but not amateur".

We call upon the Government to take action to encourage and strengthen local trusteeship to raise the standard of local voluntary action.

NAVCA commits its members to recruiting and developing more trustees to give local voluntary action strong and sustainable leadership.
