Trustee Concerns

The concept of trusteeship, and its voluntary nature, lies at the heart of the voluntary and community sector. Whatever name trustees are known by, they are the people who carry ultimate responsibility for the work of their organisation. Our advice is designed to assist trustees in what can be a very challenging task in as clear and accessible a way as possible.

We believe that our role as lawyers is not limited to one of dealing with problems after they have been encountered by trustees. Instead, our aim is to pre-empt difficulties through pro-active advice and to assist in the training of trustees by ways such as:

• tailor-made trustee training sessions as and when required
• our newsletters
• invitations to our workshops on specific current issues

Most of our lawyers have experiance of being  trustees of voluntary organisations, giving them therefore an insight into the role of trustees.

In their final comments the judges said 'Stone King place charity work at the centre of their practice and having concluded the apparently seamless integration of two highly renowned charity teams they deserve top marks for entrepreneurship and innovation.'
