Ardgowan Hospice is governed by a Board of Trustees, led by the Chair of the Board. The role of the Board of Trustees is to provide oversight and strategic direction and this is achieved through a number of Governance Sub-Committees to ensure that Trustees act in the best interests of the Hospice and that the Charity complies with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005.
Members of the Board of Trustees are appointed through an open recruitment process and serve up to three terms in office (each term being a period of three years) – our Trustees are volunteers who gift their time to the Hospice.
Our Board of Trustees have a broad skill mix, with the necessary experience, knowledge, commitment and business acumen to ensure that Ardgowan Hospice is compliant, and professionally and expertly governed, to meet legislative and regulatory requirements for ‘best practice’.
The Board of Trustees and the respective Governance Sub-Committees meet up to six times per year.
