They are required to review Board papers and play a key role in decision making in relation to ensuring the effective running of the charity, ensuring it fulfils its purpose; maintaining oversight and control over financial matters; monitoring the delivery of programme work; and engaging in strategic decision-making affecting the future development of the charity.
