Charity Governance

St Columba's Hospice has grown in size and diversity since its incorporation in 1971. Those who give to, receive help from and work for St Columba's Hospice are entitled to expect the best from those who are involved in management or as trustees.

St Columba's Hospice is governed by a Board of Governors, who deal with matters of policy, and an Executive Committee, who are responsible for implementing policy. There are three full-time Directors who report to the Board and the Executive Committee. In addition to the Executive Committee, there are a number of specialist committees that undertake the management of specific aspects of the Hospice and make recommendations to the Board for approval. These committees are as follows:

• Investment and Pensions Committee undertakes the management of the Hospice investments and pension arrangements.
• The Audit Committee is responsible for the financial management of the organisation and liaises with the Hospice's external auditors.
• The Remuneration and Nominations Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Governors for the remuneration of Hospice employees.
• The Trading and Fundraising Committee is responsible for developing fundraising and trading activities.
• The Planning Forum considers future developments of the Hospice and its services.
