Charity trustees
The persons who have the general control and management of the administration of a charity (section 177, Charities Act 2011).
Governing documents often use a variety of different terms to describe those responsible for the general control and management of a charity. What they are called in the governing document is not important; the function these persons perform in relation to the charity is. If they are in fact responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the charity, they are charity trustees and have the duties and responsibilities that come with this position of trust.
