Meeting cycle

Quarterly trustee board pack

A numbered pack for the next trustee meeting: giving against the forecast, restricted balances, and a one-page note on what needs a decision rather than a presentation.

From £1,150 per meeting · Eight to twelve working days per meeting

Who it is for

Charities whose trustees meet on a fixed cycle and currently receive a spreadsheet forwarded the night before.

What you receive

A paginated pack issued five working days before the meeting, with page numbers that match the agenda.

Included

  • Numbered PDF pack
  • One-page decisions list
  • Giving against forecast
  • Restricted fund balances as supplied

Not included

  • Minute-taking at the meeting
  • Legal advice on reserves policy

Who does the work

Meredith Pugh compiles the pack. Elspeth Crane checks the figures against the treasurer’s forecast.

How the work proceeds

  1. Confirm agenda items that need figures.
  2. Reconcile gift totals with the treasurer’s close.
  3. Draft pack with a decisions page at the front.
  4. Issue five working days before the meeting.

Time and place

Eight to twelve working days per meeting. PDF issued by email. Printed sets posted to Talbenny-area trustees when requested.

What you prepare

Agenda draft, latest gift totals, forecast spreadsheet, and any paper the treasurer already intends to table.

Limits

We will not invent a forecast. If the treasurer has not closed the month, the pack waits.

Fee

From £1,150 per meeting. Standing arrangement for four meetings is quoted as a year, with a pause clause if a meeting is cancelled.
