The Board of Trustees

Victim Support's Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance of our charity, for setting our strategic direction and for making sure that we meet our objectives.

The Board usually has 12 members who have either been elected or specifically recruited - usually for their specific skills or experience. All our trustees are appointed for three years and generally cannot serve more than two consecutive terms. The Board normally meets six times a year but may meet more often if necessary.

To find out more about what the Board does you can read the Terms of reference(155 KB).

The trustees are all legally our company members, along with members of our Assembly, and can vote at our annual general meeting, normally held in the autumn.
