Governance
Shetland's lead Sport and Recreation organisation, a registered charity core funded by Shetland Charitable Trust.
Shetland Recreational Trust was constituted under a Deed of Trust registered in Edinburgh on 28 April 1982. Charitable status is conferred by HM Revenue & Customs based on the Trust Deed. A Supplementary Deed and Deed of Appointment were also registered in Edinburgh on 12 January 2011. The Trust's charity registration number is SC002179.
The Board of Trustees administers the charity and they meet at least seven times during the calendar year. The Board agrees the broad strategy and activity for the year ahead including approval of policies, budgets, reserves, risk management and performance arrangements.
The Chief Executive, who is appointed by the Trustees, manages the day to day operations of the Trust on behalf of the Trustees. The Chief Executive has authority, within the terms of delegation approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and programming.
The Trust is part of Scottish and UK based networks of leisure based organisations which means access to expert help and guidance on many aspects of operating leisure centres.
