More trustees to be paid
23rd October 2006, 3:19 pm
The Charity Commission has agreed to registered charity CfBT Education Trust (formerly the Centre for British Teachers) paying five of its 12 board members. Third Sector magazine reports that this could pave the way for wider payment of trustees in large charities. CfBT has an income of £143 million and already pays its chair.
Other charities are already lined up to follow this precedent, according to Acevo. http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/charity_news/full_news.cfm?ID=20337.
