Beneficiary Engagement
What is Beneficiary Engagement and Why is it Important?
Our Trustees have a very important role. Their responsibilities include setting the strategic direction of the Trust and making sure that the Trust’s resources are used effectively to meet the charity’s published objectives – which are all about meeting the needs of beneficiaries.
To fulfil this role effectively, it is essential that they have a good understanding of the needs and lived experiences of the whole beneficiary community.
Beneficiary Engagement is the range of opportunities, both new and existing, which will enable the Trustees to gain this understanding.
Ways that Trustees find out about beneficiaries’ needs
There are a number of opportunities for the Trustees to hear the views and lived experiences of beneficiaries.
