Trust forms committees

SHETLAND Charitable Trust is setting up three small committees to run its business.

The committees will meet in private and are: audit and governance, investment and general purposes.

Trustees agreed on Thursday that the committees would not have any decision making powers but have to make recommendations to the full trust for approval.

Trust chairman Bobby Hunter said the new set up would result in the organisation being run more efficiently.

The following trustees have been selected to serve on the various committees:

• Audit and governance: Betty Fullerton, Catherine Hughson, Andrea Manson, Keith Massey and Stephen Morgan.
• Investment committee: Bobby Hunter, Ian Kinniburgh, Ian Napier, Drew Ratter and Jonathan Wills.
• General purposes: Bobby Hunter (chair), Malcolm Bell, Robert Henderson and Jimmy Smith.

All committees will meet for the first time in the offices of Shetland Charitable Trust, in Lerwick’s North Road, on Friday 24 May.
