A Board of Trustees is an appointed group of individuals that has overall responsibility for the management of an organisation. The Board of Trustees is the governing body of an organisation and seeks to ensure the best interest of stakeholders in all types of management decisions.

A Trustee's role in a charity is to be the 'guardians of purpose', making sure that all decisions put the needs of the beneficiaries first. They safeguard the assets – both physical assets, including property, and intangible ones, such as its reputation.  The Consortium Trust has appointed a robust Board of Trustees, with the requisite skills, knowledge and integrity to provide the strategic challenge and direction of the Trust at every level
