IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Please be aware we are in the process of setting up the charity, so we are unable to take any charitable contributions or support any causes as yet, but feel free to browse our site in the meanwhile and we will update when we are ready.
The Board of Trustees
Trustee Policy
RESPONSIBILITIES
Our trustees will appoint the charity lead, treasurer & independent charity auditors. They will provide both direction & policy oversight to the charity.
DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees will be strictly separated from the day-to-day administration of the charity with the obvious exception of the secretariat, so adhering to good governance.
TRUSTEE BOARD
Our board of trustees will have a minimum of three and maximum of nine trustees, with the size of the board being proportionate to the turnover of the charity. The key positions on our board are chair, secretary and convener.
EXPERIENCE
We expect our trustees to be cognizant of environmental science to some capacity and to appreciate the dire need for novel measures to rejuvenate the climate. Ideally our trustees will have some experience in the many academic fields of geo-sciences or of applying board-level governance.
REMUNERATION
Our trustees will be unpaid volunteers, ideally retired with a strong desire to use their extensive experience for good deeds.
TENURES
Our trustees will only serve fixed and limited tenures of six years at most with a third of the board rotated to new replacement trustees bi-annually.
CONNECTIONS
No two trustees can be related to each other or have any relationship with each other or to the charity lead or to the treasurer.
OPENNESS
Replacement trustee positions will be openly advertised and elected to the board by the voting membership.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Strict adherence to a conflict of interest policy will be applied.
Charity Workers
Committed to the Climate Cause
All our people are completely committed to the cause of saving the planet so are currently unpaid volunteers who both work hard and donate to the upkeep of the charity. We urgently seek more volunteers who ideally have studied environmental science and appreciate the dire need for novel measures to rejuvenate the climate.
