Road Safety Trust seeks board members
The Road Safety Trust is recruiting new members to its Board of Trustees.
It is seeking individuals with expertise in finance, governance and risk management who want to help it achieve its ambition of having zero road deaths and serious injuries on UK roads.
The charity is the UK’s largest independent grant funder of road safety initiatives and since 2014 it has funded more than 140 projects, awarding nearly £13m in grants.
The Trust is now seeking candidates with the required qualities to play an active role in its audit and risk committee, which supports the chair, chief executive, head of finance and Board in overseeing the Trust’s financial reporting, risk management, internal controls and governance.
Responsibilities will include reviewing accounts, internal and external audit findings, key risks and investment policy, providing independent judgement and constructive challenge to help ensure the charity operates effectively.
The role requires an annual commitment that includes one risk workshop, at least three audit and risk committee meetings – one of which will be held in person – and four board meetings, with two taking place in person.
