Our trustees are local volunteers who give their time, skills, and experience to support Gordon Common Good SCIO and the wider community. They work together to ensure the charity is run responsibly, transparently, and in line with its charitable purposes.
Trustees are not paid for their role. They serve the community by helping to safeguard shared resources, support community activity, and ensure the Common Good can continue to operate effectively over the long term.
What Trustees Do
Trustees work together as a Board to provide overall stewardship of the charity. This includes setting strategic direction, overseeing finances, and ensuring that appropriate structures and safeguards are in place.
They are not responsible for running day-to-day activities and focus on setting the framework within which volunteers, sub-committees, and community groups can plan and deliver their work effectively.
Working Together
Decisions are taken collectively by the Board rather than by individual trustees. This helps ensure that decisions are balanced, well considered, and informed by a range of perspectives.
Trustees bring a mix of backgrounds, experience, and local knowledge. This diversity strengthens decision making and helps the Board reflect the community it serves.
