Chief Executive remuneration

The People & Remuneration Committee meets to consider volunteer and employee issues and to review the performance and remuneration of the Chief Executive. It also considers the charity's pay policy and remuneration strategy and the size, structure and composition of the Board of Trustees. 

Our People & Remuneration Committee is constituted by three of our trustees and acts in accordance with its own terms of reference to consider, amongst other things, setting remuneration for the Chief Executive. It also considers and recommends to the Board of Trustees the charity's pay policy and remuneration strategy. The People & Remuneration Committee considers a wide variety of factors when making a recommendation regarding pay and remuneration. This may include:

• the demands of the charity’s strategic direction
• the importance of attracting and retaining suitably skilled, experienced and motivated employees
• the ability of those employees to lead the charity and it’s volunteers in delivering the charity’s objectives
• the importance to the charity of achieving its aims in line with the charity’s values, the needs of its clients, participants and it’s volunteers
• the need to balance the charity’s ability to pay any proposed remuneration with the need to deliver its charitable objectives and to develop the charity for future success.

It may also take into account external independent reference works and remuneration details published by other organisations from which comparable information may be drawn.
