What
do the Trustees do? Who are the Trustees?
The
Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust has been formed at the
instigation of the
Friends of Hartlebury Castle and Hurd
Library. The current Chair of the Trust is Sue Beeson Med. FRSA.
We are currently seeking to recruit
additional members of the Board of Trustees. In general
Trustees will serve for three years. The Trustees are
responsible for ensuring that the activities of the Trust
are run legitimately, are compliant with Charity legislation
and ensure the continuing preservation of the Castle for
public benefit.
The Trustees are interested in hearing from
anyone who feels they have something to bring to this Board.
Ideally we are seeking
members who are prepared to give
generously of their time, expertise and effort. We have
drawn up a profile for the Board of Trustees to ensure that
we can discharge our responsibilities effectively and new
Trustees will be selected in line with this profile.
